(11 customer reviews)

This class will help any shy student come out of their shell by becoming empowered through reading. We will be focusing on sight words and other early phonics skills to develop confidence and reading skills that will transfer to the classroom. We will be doing a lot of reading and early sentence writing in this course.

About Me

"Hi, I'm Mrs. Raven, your child's phonics teacher! I obtained my Master’s Degree in Education from Iona College in 1993, and have spent 20 years in teaching. I am permanently certified to teach Pre-K through 8th grades. In addition, I have a special certification to teach 7-12 grade science. However, my love is teaching young students phonics and reading. I rely on my God-given talents of music and puppetry to bring my lessons to life! I have taught phonics classes over the last seven years, including online Pre-K Phonics with Global Leaders Academy this summer. I will continue teaching Pre-K Phonics throughout the 2020-2021 school year. It has made me so happy to meet all of the great kids and parents though Global Leaders Academy, and to receive so much positive feedback. I'm excited to meet you and your child soon. Ms. Raven

    Mrs. Raven is very responsible and patient with kids. She ensures every class is well prepared with the appropriate materials. During classes, she has a great way to engage the kids in a very structured and fun way. Teaching 4-5 years old kids virtually is really hard, but Mrs. Raven has made the learning experiences highly effective. - Phonics I

    The work sheets Ms. Raven prepares every week are very impressive. They are helping the kids remember the stuff in different ways. - Phonics I

    This is my daughter's favorite class ever. She is a little bit shy at the beginning and was very quiet. Mrs. Raven teaches the class in a unique and super fun way. She is also very caring and has created a engaging environment. My daughter has improved tremendously since a few months ago, not only in what she has learned but also in her participation. Most importantly Mrs. Raven made study super fun for kids and kids are so willing to learn. My daughter is always excited when I told her "time for your favorite class". I feel so lucky to have my daughter in Mrs. Raven's class. - Phonics I

  5. A GLA Parent

    My son really enjoyed Mrs Raven's phonic class so I signed him up for the sight word class as well. It is the best decision ever. He liked to participate in the class and interact with Mrs Raven's fuzzy friends. He would sing the songs that Mrs Raven played during the class all the time, which is lots of fun to hear. I like that Mrs Raven always prepare homework/extra activity to help them memorize the words better. He picked up so many sight words in a short period of time. Thank you, Mrs Raven! - PreK Reading and Sight Words

    My 4 and half old son became attracted to Mrs. Teri’s class by the variety of activities available in the class: singing, stories, coloring. He truly enjoys the fun learning experience and as a result, he became more and more actively participating the class activities and shows a great deal of confidence, though not necessarily correct all the times :). It is very important to the kids who can stay through the classes without parents involvement, which is a big improvement already, let alone he did learn quite a few words from the class :). - PreK Reading and Sight Words

  7. Juan Wang

    My son truly enjoys Mrs. Raven’s phonics. He was very shy in the very beginning, but Mrs. Raven manages to use a variety of methods to engage younger students, it works very well. Recently, I noticed my son has been actively participating class activities. He is always looking forward to the class. We are very happy not only for what he learned but also his participation in class. We will enroll him in future classes :) - Phonics I

    Ms Raven has magic power to keep 4 year old kid focused for 1 whole hour. Fun activities, competition between kids and “animals”, makes kids laugh all the time. We love the class! - Phonics I

    My 4-year-old attended sight word class with Ms. Teri and phonics class with Mrs. Raven. Both of them are great, experienced, know how to teach, and the interaction was great. What Mrs. Raven brought to the class is not just phonics learning experience, but also a lot of fun as in her class, the kids would use play dough, scissors, singing songs to learn and sometimes they even learn through doing some "gym activities". From the learning materials she sent out weekly, you can tell she was well prepared and organized. My son loved to go to Ms. Teri's class too as her class is tailored for pre-k ages very well. - PreK Reading and Sight Words

    My daughter loves Mrs. Raven’s class so much! I am glad to see that she has much improvement in her phonics and sight words learning since she started to attend this class. The way Mrs. Raven has the class is amazing and interesting, and my daughter is very excited to know and speak to different puppet friends in class. The sight word cards are good for practice and my daughter loves to read it and make sentence with the words! Thank you Mrs. Raven for the wonderful class. Thanks GLA for providing such good chance to meet so great teacher! Best wishes! - PreK Reading and Sight Words

    The setting of the class is wonderful as such that the kids learn a lot while enjoying the process. My 5-year old has demonstrated remarkable interests in the class and we see his process every day. Mr. Raven is one of the best teacher we’ve ever met. - PreK Reading and Sight Words

    My 4 year old daughter loves Mrs. Raven's class. She learned so many sight words through fun activities in the class. Writing the sight words and coloring the worksheet also improved her fine motor skill. - PreK Reading and Sight Words

    My little one loves to attend Mrs. Raven's class and he is looking forward to it on every class date. Mrs. Raven has a very good voice as she can deliver multiple range of voices in pretend play with various animals to interact with children. Her singing adds a nice touch during class which can have the class stand up to dance and sing along. She clearly has a lot of experience in teaching children as she is able to communicate very well with children and knows how to get their attention. She also shows a lot of enthusiasm from the beginning to the end of class. Throughout the phonics class there were changes in structure of the class in an effort to add more complexity and enrich the children’s experience. Although each change wasn’t necessarily perfect she was very open to parent suggestion and since then the classes have been much better accommodating to all the children, which have varying ages. Overall, we all love Mrs. Raven and would highly recommend her to anyone we know. Thank you Mrs. Raven! - Phonics I

    Mrs. Raven makes phonics and reading fun for the kids. Her classes are very methodical yet highly interactive and engaging. Since joining the program three months ago our girls have learnt how to read and write the basics of phonics which is amazing to see. Mrs.Raven is patient and dedicated to her students, highly recommended! - Phonics I

    This is such a helpful class as my son embarks on his journey to learn phonics and how to read. Mrs. Raven did a great job engaging the kids with myriad activities. Her puppets and music are a hit among the kids. I also appreciate that she works with the kids patiently and is always open for feedback from parents. Thank you so much, Mrs. Raven! - Phonics I

  22. A GLA Parent

    My kid loves Mrs Raven's class. She teaches Phonic in a very structured, and more importantly, super fun way. The class is usually filled with fun activities, live music and Mrs Raven's team of fuzzy puppies. My son has improved so much since he joined the class. Thank you, Mrs Raven. - Phonics I

    Ms. Raven is one of the best teachers we have encountered so far. Due to the global pandemic, my 5 year-old son was forced to leave his pre-K class and stay home doing online learning. I heard the GLA school from a friend, and signed him up in Ms. Raven's class. I am so glad I did so, and regret that I didn't join this sooner. Since day 1, my son has fully enjoyed Ms. Raven's class, and we watch his great progress every day. He enjoys every bit of the classes, and is fully motivated to attend the class. We now have him enrolled in another classes (sight words and reading) by Ms. Raven. She is a life saver to us in the midst of the difficult time. I would give highest possible rating to Ms. Ravens and recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone that I know. - Phonics I

  24. A GLA Parent

    My son loves Mrs. Raven a lot. I was worried that it would be not possible for him to sit in front of computer for more than 10 minutes. It turned out I was so wrong and it is so easy for him to sit there for one hour! Few months ago it was difficult for him to distinguish upper/lower case letters. But now he can write them very neat in the line paper. Not even mention that he can try to sound out those simple regular words! - Phonics I
