Welcome to our Montessori inspired virtual classroom where we learn life skills and age appropriate curriculum together while having fun. The Friendship Haven classroom is positive, welcoming and social. Lessons will always be hands-on and interactive. My goal is to foster a love of reading in your child's life while helping them improve their literacy skills. 

Students learn to read at all different rates and many times their age doesn’t match a grade level chart. These groups are based solely on the skill level of your child and what they need! I recommend taking a short 1 on 1 session to assess your child’s skill level before signing up for a certain reading section. This will ensure your child is getting the lessons they need to move them along their reading journey. You can send us a private message to register for a private 1:1 assessment lesson. 

Each will begin with practicing sight words used at your learner's level. We will then read a story that often contains these words. The story may also be chosen to practice a certain skill we are working on. After the story students will be asked comprehension questions to check for understanding. We will practice a phonics spelling pattern before saying goodbye. 

Please note, online books will be used during class, so there is no need to purchase anything. 

Each week our book will follow a specific theme:

Week of September 11: Pets
Week of September 18: Playground Fun
Week of September 25: Sports
Week of October 4: Autumn
