Name: Mini-Lesson 1, Letter A
Uploaded: 2022-11-03T19:12:06.000Z
Duration: 5 min 26 s

In this mini-lesson, we go over the letter A: name and sound.

Why do I use lowercase letters in my lessons? When we read we read more lowercase letters than uppercase letters. Look at all the sentences I just wrote, how many uppercase letters are there? How many lowercase? This has been a proven way to teach letters, I do, teach both throughout my larger lessons, but still focus on lowercase letters.

My phonics/reading classes are 30 minutes long, we learn 4 letters a week and learn how to make CVC words with the 4 letters we make. My live sessions go over these every week, plus you can watch the videos as often as you would like. 

After each live lesson, your student will receive the video for the class and other downloads to help extend the lessons at home.

Hi, there! My name is Debby and I can't wait to meet you! 

I've been teaching private lessons since 1991 and have loved helping my students read, do simple math, and love learning.

I'm a goal-oriented and silly person and my teaching style is to have fun while learning and focus on the positive, even when we struggle.


 I look forward to helping you reach your goals!

I assess, then teach the child how to read. We start from what your child knows and build on their skills until they are a proficient reader!

I use many different approaches to teaching your child, from games or stories to memorization, all while having fun.

My daughter did not like reading at all. But,  as soon as she completed her first class, she expressed a desire to read more.

Mrs. Debby has been amazing since the first session. My 6 year old daughter looks forward to taking her lessons, which is wonderful since we were having a hard time convincing her that learning could be fun. You can definitely tell Mrs. Debby loves teaching and has a lot of experience.

Great tutor and very accommodating. Willing to work with us if we’re running late. Keeps my child’s attention and keeps him engaged. Very patient when my child gets a bit rowdy. Really focuses on the areas my child struggles in. Thank you Ms. Debby

Debra Langdon (Miss Debbie), worked with my three daughters as an in home nanny. She is not only punctual, reliable, and trustworthy but also very talented at caring for little ones. There is no replacement for experience, there is a reason why she has been doing this for so long! Her focus on learning and development helped our kiddos get a jump start on their lifelong education!

Debbie worked with my 5 Year old and twin 2 year old daughters. They excelled in all areas in their lives while in her care. She taught my 5 year old daughter to read beginner books something she was very resistant to and our 2 year olds learned counting, shapes, colors and how to be kind to one another. My girls love Mrs. Debbie!

Mrs. Debby helped my child nit only learn how to read at 3, she taught him love and Patience.
She is professional and gives great advice, I needed a lot! Thank you, you are the best.

In this class, we will start making a Simple Journal.
