Systematic Phonics Full Course

Best for Ages 4-7
25-minute course

In this 17 classes weekly course, learners will review the alphabet with a chant, practice letter recognition, learn the short vowel sounds, consonant sounds, writing, and blending to start reading.

Class Structure

Interactive activities and bright visuals will keep students involved with their learning as we spin the ABC wheel and say the letters, practice writing, and play games to reinforce the lesson material.

The teacher will guide learners to participate as a group in all activities, so there is little to no downtime in this lesson! Learners will be encouraged to shout out letters, talk to the vowels, letters, teacher, and peers, make sounds, and join in hand gestures for a memorable, action-packed, 25-minute learning journey each week.

The lesson will focus on the specific sounds of the day and reading words using those sounds. Learners can take all lessons or drop in and out to reinforce and strengthen certain phonics sounds. Learners do not need to take the lessons before or after any class to understand or follow along.
