WHAT MAKES OUR CURRICULUM DIFFERENT THAN OTHER KINDERGARTEN READINESS PROGRAMS?
This program features a curriculum that is standards based and is structured in a way that builds student confidence and scaffolds new skills. The format stays exactly the same each day so students know exactly what to expect, and you do not need to constantly give directions.
WHY JOIN OUR KINDERGARTEN PREP PROGRAM?
Our 6 week program features daily live lessons Monday through Friday and worksheets to follow. You get access to over a 100+ page curriculum! All the planning and prep work is done for you. Your child will be on a routine and will look forward to learning each day. Every day, you’ll print four pages. The skills change throughout the six weeks of the program, but the page setup is generally the same. By the end of this program, students will be prepared to enter Kindergarten in the Fall of 2023 or 2024. There will be a virtual stepping up ceremony and certificate at the end of class completion for all students.
"Your child will be learning
all the standards he or she
needs in order to be
ready for kindergarten."
WHY SKILLS DOES THE PROGRAM FOCUS ON?
Letter Recognition/ Handwriting:
Our program focus on a new letter for the first 26 days. Handwriting is one of our top priorities. We start of with large bubble letters provide scaffolding and support, and then once they know how to write each letter, they can practice their handwriting for the letters on the lines below.
Letter Sound:
Then we focus on the sound each letter makes by coloring the correct pictures.
Reading:
For the first two weeks, we work on comprehension, sequencing and retelling a short story. Each day we practice reading skills such as rhyming, first sound matching, phoneme segmentation (you say three sounds such as /c/ /a/ /t/ giving your child the opportunity to practice blending the sounds to say the word) sequencing, comprehension and retelling, syllables, using emotion words to finish a sentence frame, we learn 10 sight words and start practicing CVC words (consonant/vowel/consonant.)
Math:
In math, we focus on numbers 1-10 and writing these numerals. We also practice counting and 1:1 correspondence, measuring, shapes, patterns and using number lines and ten frames.
