Time: 10:45 AM

This semester I am offering private group tutoring at a discounted rate.

ABC Literacy is a reading/spelling class for children with or without a Dyslexia Diagnoses.

We will follow the style similar to the Barton Method of instruction which is similar to All About Reading/Spelling. These are Orton Gillingham based methods which are the suggested method for children with Dyslexia.

This Class is for children who know their letter sounds, and may know some sight words or short words. Level 2 does not dictate age or grade level. I am making levels in case I offer this in the future, then you can choose the next level based on the materials already covered in this class.

These are group classes, however I can offer additional classes individually online throughout the week in my online classroom. Prices vary for individual lessons and group lessons. Please reach out to me for that information via ping or abcliteracy3@gmail.com

This class will feature a different Dr. Seuss’s book each week along with crafts, activities, and/or snacks that go with that book. We will practice rhyming and get our creative minds working as we jump into the world of Seuss!

Logophiles are lovers of words and that’s what this class is all about!  Whether you like learning new words, want to further enhance your vocabulary, or simply want to make your vernacular sound more impressive, this class is for you!  Each week, students will come to class with five brand new words to share with the rest of the class.  We will keep track of all these words on index cards kept in a small box.  Plus, students will be challenged to use these words in everyday conversations and writing.  Those who can show proof of using these words throughout the week (whether through a writing assignment or a video showing usage of these words) will earn points which will be redeemable for prizes on the last day of class.  Students will be able to share about how they used these words with the rest of the class each week—so it gives students a chance to brush up on public speaking and maybe a bit of acting experience as well!  This is sure to be a super fun class.

*Please note that the $5 fee is for prizes for the last day of class.  Students will need to purchase their own index cards, index card box, and a-z file organizer separately prior to the first day of class.

Establishing a morning routine of school activities including calendar, memorization of the Childs Prayer by Margaret Betham-Edwards, singing the hymn “My Country ‘Tis of Thee” by Samuel Francis Smith, and story time. We will be following the Young Children’s Encyclopedia for Story time and learning spelling, music, geography, history, science, math, poetry, art, crafts, short video clips, interactive hands on activities intermittently.

Interactive hands on activities include: crafts, building Legos, measuring liquids/foods/each other, hopscotch, show and tell*, shopping/buying with money, playing instruments, experiencing culture cuisine, and *writing/mailing a letter based on the word/story each week.

Show and tell** We will have a show and tell on Mask the week of Halloween where students are encouraged to bring a mask from home or even an Indian hair dress. If they do not have one, no worries. We will make a craft paper bag mask.

Show and tell** on Museums in November. Encouraging students to bring any ancient artifacts, old letters, antiques (if allowed) or art work/things they think that would be worthy to be in a museum to show and tell about.

If your child is not able to write alphabetical letters, I do not think they would enjoy this class as much. We will be writing a simple letter/card to send, but they will be encouraged to do the writing portion. Also, we do have occasional worksheets to write words/learn to spell and that go along with the stories/people/places we are learning.

Words/stories we will cover include: Measurement, Mexico, Money, Mongoose, Moon, Moscow, Mail, Mask, Mountains, Mozart, Museums, and Music.
