How do you teach a 3 year old online?
/Easily.
Some parents are really shocked and surprised when I tell them that all of our lessons are online. I guess perhaps because some parents have a view of what learning should look like with a 3 year old. Perhaps an image of someone sitting with them in a room. As some of you might already know, I taught in person for over 13 years before moving everything online. The main reason for moving everything online was that I had to. Covid happened. My students still had Assessments to do and lessons had to continue. The other main reason for moving everything online is that I reached capacity and could no longer make it from lesson to lesson online. The other main reason for moving everything online is that I had a deep desire to support as many children as I could to be successful in the Assessments. I couldn’t do this if I continued with in person tuition.
My team of exceptional teachers who also teach 3 year olds are also amazing.
We have all had levels of success that we didn’t even imagine to be possible at 4+.
How will you teach my child to read?
In preparation for the 4+ Assessments, we will be teaching your child how to read.
First of all, we will teach them their phase 2 and phase 3 graphemes (single sounds) eg. c, t, s.
There will be a lot of practise and a lot of repetition.
Next, we will learn the phase 2 and phase 3 digraphs (2 letters representing one sound) eg. ch, sh, ng.
We will then learn how to blend words. Eg. c-a-t or d-o-g. We also read lots and lots of books together.
We make all of this incredible learning very interactive and fun.
Some parents ask me if their child will really be asked to read in their 4+ Assessment. My answer is always - ‘Yes!’
In one way or another, they will be asked to read. Even if it is just discussing pictures in a book - this is still reading in my opinion!
They could be asked to read a letter displayed on the board, they could be asked to blend a word in a book that the teacher is reading to them, they could be asked to blend a 3 letter word. In one way or another, they will be asked to read.
We develop amazing relationships with all of our students and our clients. You can read them here in our Trustpilot reviews.
We cover so much in our very short 30 minute lessons with our students preparing for their 4+ Assessments and the time literally flies!
Our students love their lessons so much that 75% of our students continue with tuition even after the Assessments are over.
