Elementary School Other (ELA) Lesson (by price, high to low)

I created a curriculum that provides a simple, effective, and engaging way to teach your child their letters. 

Parents: This resource is simple and effective so that you can teach your child the foundational literacy skills they need. You don’t need a fancy degree to help your child succeed.

Teachers: You don’t have time to teach aides and parent volunteers how to teach literacy skills effectively. With this resource, you can print it, hand it off, and know your students are taken care of.

This curriculum will help your child master:

• Important phonological awareness skills
• Letter name and sound of letters
• Differentiation of upper and lowercase letters
• The penmanship of each letter
• An introduction to reading two-letter words

What's included:

• Detailed lesson plans
• Sound cards
• Phonological awareness practice: Syllable awareness, beginning sound, & phonemic awareness
• Independent practice for letter names and sounds
• Upper and lowercase letter sort
• Penmanship boards
• Independent practice for penmanship
• Review of previously taught letters using games and multi-sensory activities
• Assessments for every 5 letters
• An introduction to reading two-letter words
• Videos to help you effectively teach phonological awareness and letters

I created this curriculum using the most researched and effective methods to teach children early literacy skills. The Science of Reading research has been shown to teach 95% of children to read and write effectively. Structured Literacy provides an explicit and systematic approach to teaching important literacy skills.

I have used this resource with children who are beginning to learn their letters and children who are struggling to master their letters, so I know it works. My students master their letters gain confidence and enjoy learning letters with the resources and methods laid out in this curriculum. 

Don't miss this opportunity to set your child up for success in their foundational literacy skills.

This can be done individually or in a group as large as 8. Each week focuses on 5 letters (week 5 includes 6). This is broken down into several components for each day for learning letter sounds!
