Learn and practice those strange sounds like "er, ir, ur, ar, or, sh, ch and th" in this fun course. We will learn a digraph, blend or strange sound in a fun way. Then, play a game of "switch it" where we use the same groups of letters but rearrange them to form new words. My teaching style is very lively and interactive. I often use my whiteboard, props and puppets. Together we will arrange letters to spell words with our target sounds. At the end of each lesson, students are able to practice their newly learned skills with online games and worksheets. Worksheets include a short story filled with many words with our sound for the week. Students are able to share their worksheets, questions and comments in the online classroom. If your learner is competitive, they will get the chance to earn top place on the leaderboard for our weekly online games. Each video lesson is aimed to be around 10-15 minutes in length.
Here is a breakdown of what sounds we will be tackling:
WEEK 1: sh
WEEK 2: ch
WEEK 3: th / wh - Difference between "th" in "bath" and "th" in "those". Difference between "they're, their and there".
WEEK 4: ar/or
WEEK 5: ur/ir/er There are no live classes.
