Ages 4.5-6.5 years. A unique, virtual class that promotes and continues literacy development designed especially for entering Y5 and kindergarten students before they go to elementary school. Laura Emmer, who has a Master's in Early Literacy Development, creates an engaging session that helps excite your child's love for literacy and identity as a 'reader." Each 45-minute class includes instruction along with your child participating in an interactive circle time to review letter recognition and sounds (zoo phonics), rhyming with word families, reading strategies, read-a-loud and story retelling. A special time for exciting journal activities too that promote literacy development as well as opportunities for children to practice literacy skills with movement!
