Course Overview

In this course, students get structured lessons on readiness skills through emphasis on phonics, language skills, and literature to help develop comprehension, build vocabulary, and promote a lifelong interest in reading.

PHONICS

PhonicsWorks prepares your student to become an independent reader through systematic, multisensory instruction in phonemic awareness and decoding skills, using a kit of magnetized letter tiles and a variety of games and activities. Handwriting Without Tears provides gentle instruction to help your student print letters correctly.

LITERATURE

Plenty of read-aloud literature kindles the imagination while building comprehension and vocabulary. The emphasis is on classic literature—fairy tales, fables, folktales, poems—including many works that embody exemplary virtues, such as "The Frog Prince," "Beauty and the Beast," The Velveteen Rabbit, and tales by Beatrix Potter.
