Yes, by following this course guide, applying the unique how-to strategies, you will build a very strong foundation of English learning: start reading and writing at the starting line because you are learning to say and spell 957 high frequency words.
This course is 20 weeks long. All together, you will watch 40 short instructional videos, two each week, to learn to say and spell 957 words.
Each week (except the first one), you are expected to follow the same routine strictly to work on different things set out in each week’s plan:
- Watch two short instructional videos to learn how to say and spell about 50 new words. Make sure you are recognizing the patterns so that saying and spelling words is easy. You can watch each video multiple times until you have fully mastered the content and the how-to strategies.
- Practice the words you have just learned from the videos. Make sure to highlight the important words in the question so that you understand exactly what you need to do. Following the unique how-to strategies, only do the questions you are able to, and make note of the ones that you can’t do because you can come back to work on that later.
- Check against the answer key to see how well you did. You might need to watch the two videos a few more times if you didn’t do well.
