This class will help the students taking it gain a solid foundation in: letter sounds, word building, and decodable reading. 

I will start each session with phonemic awareness drills including letter sounds, letter identification, blending letter sounds, and high-frequency words.

Then, I will introduce the topics for the weeks lesson, this will include any blending patterns that will need to be used that day, fluency drills, and a review of words specific to the book being read that day, along with practicing the high-frequency words in the book. After that, we will read the decodable text, and work on brainstorming and answering comprehension questions afterward about the decodable text.  

I will use a mixture of slides, games, and projecting paper materials I physically have onto my screen for the students to read from. 

Your child would be a good fit for this class if:
•They have a good understanding of their letters and letter sounds.
•They are new to reading.
