Prepare your child to unlock the world of reading. Families will learn how to support their children in laying the foundations of early literacy skills using a structured literacy approach. Parents and caretakers will learn engaging strategies that support their children with print awareness, phonemic awareness, and phonics, which are the building blocks for strong readers. Through phonemic awareness, they'll master the art of recognizing and playing with the sounds that shape language. As students begin their journey into phonics, they'll acquire the ability to decode words and embark on reading adventures independently. Join us on this exciting path, and together, we'll unlock the magic of reading!
