Welcome to our Literacy program.
This is a program that is based on current research into literacy acquisition, neuroscience & learning differences.
There are 5 key components to a literacy program….and we add one more, which is why we call this a 5+1 program.
While almost all children need to work on each of these skills, each child needs these skills in different proportions. Some kids need to work intensively at the Phonological Awareness level for a while, other kids are doing pretty good with their reading, but are struggling with their spelling so they need to focus on phonics and writing skills.
We have developed scopes and sequences for each component. Your child’s program will be designed to move through the components at a pace that works for your child, targeting the areas that they need most, and monitoring progress as we go.
If you are looking at the program and are thinking that this looks super complicated….you are right, it is! But the good news is that you don’t need to worry about all that. All you need to do is follow the links sent to you in your lesson plans. They will take you to the lessons you need on this website. On those pages, you will find step-by-step instructions, videos and activities to follow …..so all you need to do is focus on the fun and the connection with your child.
