Course Description

Students will begin with foundational skills as stepping stones towards fluent reading. Students will begin learning alphabet letter recognition and alphabet sound acquisition. Students begin learning sight words in the very first lesson! Sight words are the most frequently used words a child will read, write, and speak. The incorporation of movement and song help actively engage learners in the understanding of the content. After learning sight words in each lesson, you will find your child singing the sight word songs around the house. 

Together, students will learn how to develop comprehension skills when reading. Comprehension topics taught consist of: identifying author, illustrator, setting, retelling (beginning, middle, and end), problem and solution, predicting, and inferring.  Comprehension skills taught in the first lessons will build foundational skills towards independent reading skills students will learn in later lessons. Independent reading skills topics taught consist of: using picture clues, identifying sight words, identifying the first letter sound in an unfamiliar word, skipping over a word in a sentence, and fluency. 

Lessons begin to develop in rigor. Students will practice isolating sounds in three letter words (initial, medial, and ending sounds). Students will practice blending skills of three letter CVC words. Students will learn word families, diagraphs, rhyming words, vowel pairs, and much more. Students will use their knowledge of these practiced phonics skills to complete activities together and in attached lesson activities.  

This course includes:

  •          A full year's worth of academic content contained in three comprehensive units
  •          83 Fun and engaging lessons
  •          43 Lesson activities
  •          Attached lesson activities enhance content taught.
  •          Lesson activities designed to aide in developing child's writing developmen (lesson activities develop in rigor)
  •          Alphabet letter identification and sound (includes movement for each alphabet letter)
  •          44 Sight word movements and songs
  •          Discussion of comprehension skills and strategies to think deeper about reading 
  •          Progress assessments: Comprehension, Alphabet, Sight Words (rubrics provided for each assessment)
  •          End of course assessments: Sight Words, Fluency Reading, Phonics (rubrics provided for each assessment)

 

Course Goal

Incorporating phonics skills, sight word acquisition, and developing comprehension each lesson will develop your child's overall literacy foundation. Students will think more critically and deeper about reading. Students will identify alphabet letters and sounds. Students will read sight words. Students will use problem solving skills to become confident and more fluent readers.
