Fall Classes 2025 - Registration Below
Young Readers - Ages 3 & 4
In this engaging early literacy class, your children will take their first steps toward learning to read! Through playful activities that build phonemic awareness—like rhyming games and sound isolation exercises—students develop essential pre-reading skills. They’ll sing songs to remember vowel sounds and enjoy hands-on activities that support letter recognition and phonics. Get ready to see your children notice print all around them and grow excited about reading!
Kindergarten Readiness - for TK students
This class is designed for children who are looking for a strong start to their TK year. We begin by reviewing letter names and sounds, then pick up the pace as students gain confidence. Through a multi-sensory approach, we’ll combine letter writing with letter sound practice. Engaging games reinforce each lesson, and the group will begin working on simple word blending.
Calling all Kindergartners
This class reinforces essential reading skills introduced throughout the kindergarten year. Students review short vowels, digraphs, blends, and the most common long vowel patterns. With an emphasis on fluency and reading comprehension, the course strengthens foundational literacy while boosting confidence. Children practice these skills through engaging games and hands-on activities that make learning fun and effective.
Super Readers - for 1st grade students
As students enter first grade, many become aware of the wide range of reading abilities in their classroom. Those not yet reading Harry Potter may begin to doubt their skills. This class is designed to build both confidence and capability.
In Super Readers, students practice reading highly decodable texts that feature grade-level spelling patterns. As decoding becomes more automatic, comprehension improves—and confidence soars. I identify and target any gaps in foundational knowledge, giving children the support and practice they need to read at grade level or beyond.
The content of these classes is aligned with grade-level expectations. If you believe your child would benefit from a class that is above or below their current grade level, please feel free to reach out. I'm happy to discuss what would be the best fit for your child.
