The Phonics Lab {Words for Kids}
In this workshop, we read stories, work on print concepts, letter sounds, and word families so that children build a strong foundation in the basics of phonics.
Examples of CVC word families include words ending with: -at, -og, -it, ed -am, -ut, -ig, -en
Materials Needed: A large bowl and a full set of alphabet letters magnets or puzzle pieces.
Schedule
The Reading Lab {Reading Comprehension}
In this workshop, students who have mastered the basics of phonics (letter sounds and letter names) are invited to practice reading aloud, listening, and answering questions about various types of texts.
Texts: Poems, short stories, and books.
Prerequisites:
- Students should be decoding, segmenting, and exposed to beginner reader books.
- Students should have mastered letter names, letter sounds, and rhyming cvc words.
Schedule
The Spelling Lab
Spelling is not the same skill as reading and becoming proficient will take practice. Each week, your student will learn simple tools to spell sight words and words that can be spell phonetically.
Programs Used: University of Florida Literacy Institute (UFLI) rooted in The Science of Reading
Prerequisites:
- Students should be decoding, blending, segmenting, and reading at grade level.
Schedule
The Writing Lab {Creative}
What if your child didn’t dread writing? It’s possible. Give your child a purpose for their writing and a space to share and they may experience a transformation that turns writing from chore to a habit.
Prerequisites:
- Students should be decoding, blending, segmenting, and reading.
- Students do not need to be proficient in spelling to participate.
FAQs
Can I enroll more than one student? Yes. Enroll each student separately.
Can I enroll older students in the classes listed with lower age or grade ranges? Yes. However, students more than 2 years older than the top of the age or grade range may benefit more from private tutoring as the graphics and content is created for a younger learning group.
Can I enroll for one month? Yes. Each payment covers one month of classes. You may end your enrollment at any time. Note: Please cancel before your monthly payment is due as refunds are not offered.
Do you provide formal assessments for these classes? No.
My child is not reading, can you assure me your program will get my child reading in one month? No. Learning to read, speak, or write well is a process that takes time and your child’s journey is unique. These courses are designed to teach specific skills and as your child learns each skill, it is the expectation that each skill will improve their literacy skills. The amount of time it takes for your child to learn each skill or strategy will vary.
Do you offer refunds? Refunds are not offered.
