Seashells: Age 3

 

Building on knowledge of letter sounds and rhymes

 

Seashells is a fun and interactive program for children with some prior knowledge of letters.  Our games help kids to commit letters to their long term memory and gently lead them into our Starfish reading program.  They will also develop their focus and concentration skills through play based learning.

 

Starfish: Ages 3 - 4

 

Developing early reading and spelling skills

 

Our Starfish program uses children's prior letter knowledge to start reading vowel - consonant words.  Through fun and engaging games our students practice sounding out letter combinations and putting together small words.  These skills will help build confidence and early literacy.

 

Dolphins: Ages 4 - 5

 

Beginning to read and spell 3 and 4 letter words

 

The Dolphins program is for children who already know their letter sounds and can read small vowel - consonant words.  At this stage their play based learning is more focused on rhymes, word families, short and medial vowel sounds, decoding and spelling.  As students start to grasp early literacy concepts they grew in confidence and are more prepared for school.
