A Journey Through Fiction
Fiction provides access to a wide range of real and imagined worlds. This course is designed to develop comprehension of critical-thinking skills through the study of characters, plots, and settings in diverse literary works.
Phonics and Word Study 1, 2, and 3
This is a 3-part course. Part 1 teaches short and long vowel sounds, how words start and end, and special letter pairs. Practice breaking words into parts, finding rhyming words, and making word chains. Count word parts, which are called syllables. Part 2 expands upon part 2 providing a solid foundation in phonics. Key topics include open and closed syllables, words ending in "le," r-controlled vowels, root words, the double consonant rule, and the schwa sound. Part 3 focuses on Greek and Latin roots, prefixes and suffixes. Learn common roots and how their meaning changes when a prefix or suffix is added.
