About Linda L.
Close
"Phonics" are the basic foundation of all alphabet-based writing. For learning to read English, students learn best when taught a combination of phonics and sight-words. (English is full of words that are NOT spelled phonetically; however, the rules of phonics do have a definite place in learning to read English.)
With beginning readers, I incorporate songs and rhyme to help children hear and understand phonics. I also use rhythm/percussion to help children distinguish syllables.

About Victoria H.

I am a certified Early childhood-6th grade teacher. I teach First grade and have thoroughly studied the best practices for teaching phonics. It brings me great joy to teach phonics to people of all backgrounds and ages. My lessons are fit to what your individual needs are. Some things we may work on would be word study, fluency, sight words, and decoding. We would do this through different games, words in text, sometimes incorporating music and some hands on learning activities.
