Reading K/1st class with Ms. Wendy The reading class for K/1st will be available in both the fall and spring semester. The work started in the fall will carry over into the spring. While enrolling in both semesters is optional, please review the curriculum to be sure it aligns with your child’s needs. Additional practice materials and concepts covered that week will be sent home at the beginning of the week but will not be collected in class. Skills to be covered (fall semester): We will begin developing phonological awareness skills (especially segmenting and blending phonemes), decoding and encoding CVC words, and introduce high frequency words. We will also identify main characters, setting, and events in stories. We will read texts and identify the main topic and details. Skills to be covered (spring semester): We will continue to develop more advanced phonological awareness skills while decoding and encoding words with more sounds to include blends. Reading stories across different genres will be used to develop vocabulary and story elements. Materials needed: • pencils • spiral notebook • folder • dry erase marker Donations for the class: • sanitizing wipes • glue sticks • crayons • copy paper For any questions or concerns, please feel free to email me at lillerwho@msn.com I currently hold a Florida Professional Teaching certificate, and received a Masters in Education degree with a concentration in special education from the University of Washington. I have worked as a classroom teacher, a homeschool teacher/tutor, and a reading therapist, and, combined, have 15 years experience in these fields. I absolutely love helping children to read and develop a passion for stories. Please email me at lillerwho@msn.com if you have any other questions or concerns.
