In our Phonics Fridays phonics workshop, students explore a wide range of phonics skills tailored to their individual learning needs.

  • Phonemic Awareness – Rhyming Mastery:
    It’s essential for students to recognize rhyming sounds, fostering auditory discrimination and enhancing their phonemic awareness.
  • Phonemic Awareness – Sound Position Identification:
    Students learn to identify sounds at the beginning, middle, and end of words, a skill crucial for sound manipulation and word decoding.
  • Sound-Letter Association Foundations:
    Associating specific sounds with their corresponding letters is pivotal. It lays the groundwork for effective reading and spelling.
  • Distinguishing Consonants and Vowels:
    By understanding the roles of consonants and vowels in word construction, students can decode words more effectively and enhance pronunciation.
  • Phonics – VC Words Mastery:
    Words like ‘it’ and ‘go’ introduce students to vowel-consonant structures, serving as building blocks for more complex words.
  • Phonics – The World of CVC Words:
    Exploring words like ‘mom’ and ‘dog’ helps students practice consonant-vowel-consonant patterns, enhancing their reading fluency.
  • Phonics – Delving into CVCC Words:
    With words such as ‘bank’ and ‘dirt’, students encounter consonant-vowel-consonant-consonant patterns, expanding their word recognition skills.
  • The Magic of ‘Silent’ E Words:
    Words like ‘kite’ and ‘cube’ introduce the role of silent ‘e’, a key concept in transitioning to more advanced reading levels.
  • Phonics – Journey into Long Vowels:
    Recognizing long vowel patterns in words like ‘feet’ and ‘sail’ helps students decode and comprehend a broader range of vocabulary.
  • Phonics – Discovering Consonant Digraphs:
    Digraphs like ‘ch’ and ‘sh’ combine two letters to produce a unique sound, further diversifying students’ phonetic understanding.
  • Phonics – Blending with Blends:
    Blends such as ‘dr’ and ‘sp’ introduce students to the combination of consonants at the start or end of words, refining their reading and pronunciation techniques.

Join us for our Phonics Fridays phonics workshop to witness your child’s rapid growth in reading skills!

Ms. Liz, Ms. Yolanda, and the rest of the staff truly have an amazing approach and method of teaching that makes my child look forward to going to both his private tutoring and his reading club. I strongly suggest to any parent with child that needs extra assistance in school to look into Clairmont Advanced and with just the evaluation you'll realize how much they truly care.

My son was years below grade level when he began to work with Clairmont about three years ago. He is now performing at just about grade level in all areas and his self- confidence is soaring . Ms. Liz personally tailors every lesson for his changing needs. She has made such a change in my child's life!

My son is in kindergarten and has been struggling with reading and remembering his sight words so when I saw someone share a Facebook post about Clairmont's 4 day bootcamp over winter break, I called and they immediately scheduled my son for an assessment before the bootcamp. The staff has been phenomenal, patient, kind, and my son has begged to go back each morning this week since starting the bootcamp. I'm so impressed by how much he's learned already and what he tells me during our car rides home that I plan on signing him up for any future classes they have during school breaks. Their learn-by-playing method is so effective and the ticket reward system where kids can cash them in for small toys is incredibly motivating. I plan on telling his school teacher about it when he returns from the holiday break and recommending Clairmont to every parent I know that has a child struggling in school.
