This is a beginning language arts class. We will learn the first 26 phonograms and use them to start reading, controlled spelling, and writing. Later we will add more phonograms and expand our reading, spelling and writing. We will learn basic grammar. Lesson plans will be given each week with daily assignments taking one to two hours daily of homework. Parents can use the plans at the student's pace. Parents are strongly encouraged to attend class to follow through with what is learned in class.
Students need to have regular pencils, scissors, and colored pencils for each class.
Required Materials: From Rainbow Resource Center catalog- 70 Basic Phonogram Cards, item #022908, about $12, Phonogram Tape, item #022910, about $6.
I have a B.A. degree in Elementary Education and Special Education from Purdue University. I taught 4th, 5th, and bilingual classes in the Prospect Heights school district. I left teaching when my oldest, Kate was born. At that time I started working as a consultant for homeschool families with special needs children. My husband, David, and I have been married for 18 years and have four children. Often God blesses our household with foster children as well. We have been homeschooling for 11 years.
$4.00 per child/per class, plus $15.00 copy fee per child. |
