In this class we will explore pre-reading skills as well as take those first leaps into spelling and sight reading. Every other week we will introduce a new book and a set of words which we will finger spell, sing about, and play with, making the words on the page come alive. Students coming into this class should be able to recognize capital letters and have a firm grasp of initial consonant and vowel sounds. Knowledge of the ASL alphabet is desired but not required.
