Course Summary
Get ready to rawr, stomp, munch and crunch like a dinosaur while learning letters, phonics and facts. Participate in a group project each week. 30+ lessons plus activity packs.
Get ready to rawr, stomp, munch and crunch like a dinosaur while learning letters, phonics and facts. Since there are 26 letters in the alphabet - there will be 26 videos! Plus bonus STEM, STEAM or craft videos and worksheets. Each week will introduce 4-5 new letters. We will learn about a dinosaur that starts with each letter. I will provide letter tracing and coloring pages for each letter and dinosaur. I often sing songs to help with memory and phonics. Students will be asked to share what dinosaur is their favorite and can participate in show-and-tell by featuring their favorite toys. I often include my own children in videos for age appropriate learning. Demonstration videos include many fun dinosaur drawing, painting, science and STEM experiments. We will explore dinosaur characteristics such as: What does it eat? Is it a carnivore, herbivore, omnivore? How big is the dinosaur? Physical features such as claws, feathers or duckbill.

The flexible schedule allows your younger learners to watch the videos and do the crafts at a time that is FUN for them! You can also spend extra time on the topics your child is most interested in. Since this is a flex class with no live meetings, students can log in at a time that is convenient to them to complete the week's lesson. We will be going through each week as a group and I will post the lesson every week based on the date of enrollment (4-5 a week for 5 weeks). I do not screen share, instead I will use books and props to show the dinosaur and letter of the day. Students should be prepared to watch the videos with the provided paper and writing/coloring utensils.

As a homeschooling mother of five, I felt led by the Lord to create an online educational platform. My style of learning didn't fit into the mold of what was out there. Not to mention, the rising prices of other educational platforms limited what classes my children could enjoy. Sifting through online classes and full curriculum that aligns with Christian values is tricky. Today, it seems most Christian curriculum is boring bookwork and/or very costly. I sought to combine everything that I value in education. Teach Me Truth provides entertaining video lessons, live online classes, online games, quizzes, worksheets, and community - all designed by independent teachers within our nonprofit platform.
