Reading for Kinder

Teacher: Ami George (amibgeorge@yahoo.com)
Age: Kinder-2nd Grade
Class Size: 10 (max.)
Course Length: 2 semesters 
Class Fees: $100 per semester

Class Description:
This year I teach students how to apply phonics rules through six easy steps to
reading. Blends and words are arranged to correlate with the sequence in which special
phonics sounds are taught; the early introduction of vowels helps students move quickly
to whole words. Students will learn to recognize short vowels & their sounds,
consonants & their sounds, blends, how to sound one-vowel and two-vowel words, the
sounds of the long vowels, and special phonics sounds. Review and practice exercises
are integrated. For anyone beginning to read or just needs extra practice, we will build a
firm foundation
