Helping Your Child Begin a Lifelong Love of Reading
In our Pre-Readers and Early Readers programs, our youngest learners develop literacy by learning sounds, decoding the alphabet, and reading whole stories.
Pre-Readers
Designed for children who have little to no previous instruction, students:
- Learn to sound out and write letters of the alphabet
- Recognize word patterns and distinguish placement of sounds within words
- Listen to and answer questions about a story
Early Readers
Designed for children who know their letters and sounds and are ready to read, students:
- Start with easy picture books and move up to short chapter books
- Learn new words and write answers to comprehension questions
- Write a short paragraph in response to a story
