Phonics has been proven to be the most reliable way to teach younger children to read. This class will help your learner progress from connecting letter sounds to forming words to learning that certain combinations of letters predictably represent specific sounds. Children are able to rapidly progress when they practice reading daily and this class is intended for just that purpose. 

CLASS EXPERIENCE:

Join me for a fun, three day a week reading class using phonics to help your child start the reading process through daily practice and games.

This class is the perfect fit for anyone just beginning to read and proceeds at a level consistent with first grade reading through the summer or school year, getting progressively more difficult as the class continues.

I try to keep students engaged through a mix of games, learning time, interesting stories, and great student interaction. I enjoy learning about each child and making a connection that makes them want to return to class!

CLASS SCHEDULE:

Weeks one and two (6/10 & 17)- stories with simple short vowel words (it may take several weeks for learners to be comfortable with short vowel words). Each section may learn at a different pace.

Week three (6/24)- stories using short and long vowel words

Weeks four and following (7/1 and following)- stories using simple two letter blends followed by gradually more difficult stories and sounds such as ou, ch, th, etc. 

Adjustments may be made to the schedule depending on ability and progress of learners.

I hope to see your learner soon! Please let me know if you have questions!
