Reading and Phonics

A reading phonics program is a specialized program that provides reading support for young learners, both inside and outside of the classroom. It is available to assist students who attend traditional schools as well as those who are homeschooled. Reading phonics programs are an excellent way to ensure that the young readers in your home have a strong foundation in reading.

Phonics is an approach to teaching learners how to read that focuses on connecting letters associated with words to their corresponding sounds. Programs based on phonics aim to help bridge the gap between what children see on paper and what they hear or say out loud. A dedicated reading phonics program offers support in various ways as students learn. Given that nearly a third of students are behind on reading proficiency by the fourth grade, an early reading program can have a significant impact on later years.

With early reading programs, students can learn on their own schedule and with access to the support they need, allowing them to progress naturally rather than being left behind. Whether a student needs phonics programs for struggling readers or simply wants an early reading program to offer additional support, these tailored approaches can work wonders.

Spanish

In our Spanish class students will be introduced to common vocabulary, phrases and concepts necessary for daily interpersonal interaction. Emphasis will be place on basic communication and comprehension in everyday situations, i.e. survival skills. Students will gain a working knowledge of the basic structure of the target language using the present tense.

Students will engage in activities such as, the creation and performance of original dialogues, question and answer situations as posed by the teacher or other students, and various pair and group projects all centered in thematic units. Students will begin to talk about topics and situations that are of interest to them, their friends and the target language community.

They will begin to speak Spanish and will discover how they can greet others in Spanish and talk to them about the daily routines of student life. Gradually, they will develop their ability to understand spoken and written Spanish.

Thematic learning objectives are presented within the framework of the three modes of communication, as outlined by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACFTL): Interpersonal, Interpretive and Presentation
