I Can Read CVC and Sight Words While Beat Box Rhyming! (Self-Paced)
10 Self-Paced Reading Lessons (Ages 4-7)
Course Summary
In this 10-lesson course we will be reading sight and CVC words while having fun beat box rhyming! Solve math problem ciphers to solve our “sentence of the week”. Plus play interactive team quizzes.
The goal is to get learners excited to read in order to solve the clues like a detective! Each week we will start by reading CVC blends from our word families below. We practice beat box rhyming after every two words. This helps learners connect how they rhyme and have the same ending sounds. There are few challenging words with 4-5 letters as well. Each lesson, I reveal a few of our cutie dinosaur babies with sight words on them. At the end of each video lesson, learners will complete online quizzes and our detective worksheets. Clues involve solving simple math problems to reveal a secret number. Learners will get a printable “code” or cipher worksheet where they can match the numbers to letters combined to reveal a word. There are two options for our detective worksheets: one has single digit addition and subtraction and one has double digit addition and subtraction. Lastly, students share their answers and worksheets in the classroom with video or pictures.
We will focus on a different word family each class with 2 lessons each week as follows:
WEEK ONE: “en” and “at”
WEEK TWO: “it” and “un”
WEEK THREE: “ug” and “ip”
WEEK FOUR: “et” and “ig”
WEEK FIVE: “ag” and "in"
Sight words that are in our “sentence of the week” include: The, went, where, in, here, was, go, to, into, day, she, he, there, been, must, said and saw. There are no live classes instead, a series of video lessons are available each week in the online classroom. My videos are lively as I use my flip book of letters to spell new words. I will demonstrate sounding out each letter and blending them together to read our CVC words. I incorporate fun games after every 2 to 4 words to help learners stay engaged. Some of our games include finding cakes behind numbers, guessing our puzzle or finding dinosaurs. Students have the option of sharing a video saying the “sentence of the week” or simply typing it into the classroom.

Hello parents and students,
I started Teach Me Truth Christian School because of the need for families to have a safe space for learning. After reading, "Mama Bear Apologetics", I recognized the call for a Christian education platform. Not only teaching children about the Bible, but also teaching apologetics that back up the Bible with science, logic, facts, history and intellectual reasoning. I am passionate about homesteading, homeschooling and working on becoming more independent from the world and government. Most schools in person and online censor Christianity and promote everything else - and I mean everything else! As parents, our jobs are becoming more difficult to protect our children from the evils of this world while at the same time educating them about the truth. Soon after starting the online platform, God called me to start an in-person school as well.
My Teaching Style: I encourage learning through enthusiastic engagement. I believe children learn best through curiosity or play. Teaching online has been my passion for six years. I was an online English teacher with VIPKID for over three years and an Outschool teacher since 2020. VIPKID taught me how to engage with students in a virtual setting. They taught me how to use props, singing and demonstrations to increase learning. I encourage student output and participation during class.
About Me: I have a bachelor's degree in marketing and science. I am an entrepreneur and business owner. I have also been in the beauty industry for over 15 years. I am a homeschooling mom of five. I am constantly seeking creative ways for my children and students to learn new things.
My Homeschooling Style: As a homeschooling mom of 4, my favorite part of teaching is sort of "tricking" them into learning. What I mean by this is, we often play learning games and sing songs. In addition to this, my children have learning games on their devices and we listen to learning songs in the car. Some of our favorite online resources include: Easy Peasy Homeschool, Education.com and Miacademy and Flock School. Some of our favorite learning games are: ABC and sight word bingo, memory match, shout-and-grab, ABC caterpillar board game, dinosaur nest game, Uno, chess, checkers, matching, fill in the blank phonics sounds and more. We love arts and craft time as well as create weekly science projects. My kiddos enjoy both live and self-paced online classes. Our kids participate in chores, taking care of our chickens, ducks, dog and cat. We love projects and currently are building a chicken coop. Lastly, our book work is a small part of learning each day.
