This class uses an Orton-Gillingham approach to reading.  Orton-Gillingham is a powerful research-based approach to reading and spelling that is language-based, multi-sensory, sequential, incremental, and cumulative. Your child will receive targeted instruction in the areas of phonics, decoding, spelling, listening, reading comprehension, and vocabulary skills.  We will begin the year with a review of foundational reading and spelling patterns.  Then we will move into morphology.  Morphology is the study of words and how they are formed and used.  We will study prefixes, suffixes, root words, and their meanings.  The study of morphology is an essential practice for all students, especially those with dyslexia, and research shows that students who received morphology instruction significantly increased comprehension and spelling skills.  We will learn all of these important skills in a safe learning environment full of confidence-building activities and fun games.  A portion of each class will also focus on reading dyslexia-friendly chapter books and applying literary strategies. These books are specially designed and formatted to address some of the common barriers to reading. Please send your child with water, a snack, and a camping chair for reading OUTSIDE.

Are you excited to learn how to read? My friends will grow deep foundational skills in the targeted concepts of print, rhyme recognition, completion and production, learning letter names and sounds and being able to isolate, blend and segment those sounds within 3 letter words. We'll also work to increase sight recognition of words we frequently use and learn to write the letters with appropriate formation. This group will focus heavily on the Orton Gillingham multi-sensory and repetitive approach to learning including activities like writing in sand, using play dough, picture sorts, building words with magnets and pounding the beats in syllables to develop strong phonemic awareness. We'll incorporate some fun letter craft activities and explore our new letters, sounds and familiar words through poetry, nursery rhymes, and picture books. This class will help students make sense of print around them and gain confidence as budding readers!

The need to create is human and Art for the Soul will focus on free exploration of feelings by using different techniques, materials, and palettes. From sketching, to coloring to painting and many more we will be learning about the art movement known as Spiritual Art, while allowing all students to ease stress and sometimes overwhelming feelings that can be hard to express without art.
