Phonics Lessons in New York, NY. Amazing Teachers.

As a first grade teacher of 10 years, I've personally seen the benefit of learning phonics. Phonics is about the relationship between letters and their sounds. Beginning phonics includes learning basic sounds of the letters of the alphabet. In later years, children learn about the sounds created by combinations of letters. Phonics aids children in learning to read, write and spell.

One of the tools I use to assist in learning this relationship is called Making Words. I present it as a game and students love to play. We begin with a short word spelled out using letter cards. I ask the student to change one letter to create a different word (that I give). This can be played at all levels.

My specialty! Jolly Phonics Certified Teacher @2016

Jolly Phonics, teaches children to read and write using synthetic phonics, which is widely recognized as the most effective way to teach all ages to read and write in English. That was over 25 years ago.

Since then our immense progress has been studied in numerous research projects, the results of which led to phonics becoming central to the UK and US curriculum. Today we are now used in over 100 countries worldwide. As the leading synthetic phonics publisher, and the most experienced, we offer a 7-year school program that teaches not only phonics, but spelling, punctuation and grammar too.

I teach all forms of literacy including listening, speaking, writing, and reading English. I teach grammar, phonics, word recognition and comprehension, vocabulary, spelling, and effective, expressive, and creative writing skills. I have been an avid reader and writer ever since my elementary school days. At college, I received a perfect score on my departmental English exam. I have three education degrees: A double bachelor's in elementary education and music, and a master's in reading. I am presently a Mesa Laubach Literacy Council Board Member and Tutor. I love to help students become more proficient in the English language.

"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.

Lesson Planning for Distance Learning- For parents needing assistance with writing lesson plans, please let me know! I can work with you to come up with lesson ideas for your children during distance learning.

During my time as a teacher I was responsible for teaching reading for 2.5 hours/day. I have a wide range of techniques that I can use to help your child grow their vocabulary, learn their letters, sight words, and phonetic sounds. I have workbooks, worksheets and flashcards that I can bring to assist in learning as well.

I will teach your child phonics through pictures, flash cards and repetitive sounds. I also use TPR (total physical response) to teach your child/teen/adult learner to learn the sounds and pronunciations of new words and phrases. TPR along with props such as pictures, animals, and drawings will excite your learner and have them excited about phonics!
