Sept. 1, 2011
Head Start to Reading will introduce your child to
reading and provide the head start needed to better
prepare your child for Kindergarten! Each
class includes fun activities and positive learning
experiences that introduce high frequency words
through games and manipulative activities. The
children often find themselves being authors and
illustrators of their very own books that they can
read! The 55-minute sessions are designed to
be building blocks that increase reading vocabulary.
You will soon find your child reading stories right
along with you! It is a positive learning time
where confidence in reading is the main goal!
A refresher class is offered the week before
kindergarten to review the words and skills learned
in the Head Start to Reading class.

Head Start to Reading
Next Steps to Reading is
available to students who have completed Head Start
to Reading! It is filled with fun learning
activities designed to introduce your child to
phonetic strategies necessary for reading with a
focus on short vowel sounds. The letter sounds
are taught with hand signals to give a multi-sensory
approach to phonics. The children see the
letter, hear the sound it makes, and learn a
hand-signal for the letter as well! These
reading strategies are combined with even more high
frequency words so your child's reading vocabulary
can greatly expand!

activities will of course continue as we practice
our new skills!

This literature-based curriculum provides a fun way
for your child to learn and apply reading skills to
popular children's books! Each class will
be centered around a featured book - we will learn a
phonics skill, apply what we've learned as we read
the featured book together, and participate in
various fun and educational activities based on that
book! These activities are not only designed
to make reading more exciting, but your child will
also practice skills like graphing, sequencing, and
retelling stories! The students will walk away
from each class with a complete experience of the
featured book! Handwriting technique is also
included in each learning time to give your child
the opportunity to practice handwriting throughout
the summer. This primary goal of this class is
to keep children immersed in books throughout the summer
when school is not in session!
