We are excited to offer several 10-week phonics classes ideal for Pre-K or 5/6 program students.  We will utilize phonics instruction, emphasizing visual, auditory and kinesthetic (tactile) learning styles as a way to lay a solid foundation for early readers.  Our time together will be spent playing games and other activities centered on  a review of letter recognition and letter sounds, rhyming words, and an introduction to basic CVC (consonant, vowel, consonant) word families. (bat, cat, sat, etc.) In the winter class, we will practice segmenting beginning, middle, and ending sounds in order to blend the sounds to read CVC words.  The winter class is a completely new curriculum from the fall class.  All activities and games are new and are appropriate for children who are in the second half of their Pre-K or 5/6 program school year.
