Early literacy skills benefit our students in a variety of ways. Reading in the early years supports kindergarten readiness, but early literacy skills builds a foundation for future academic success and overall achievement. We begin your child’s reading journey in our K Prep classroom each year. Our goal is to create a strong foundation in early literacy for them to build on throughout many years ahead.
Our early reading adventure began in K Prep last week. The focus last week was how to use their “Magic Reading Finger.” Why do we have children use their finger to track the words while they read? The reason for this practice is because our eyes naturally follow movement, placing a finger, on a page and strategically moving it down the text, a reader will naturally keep their place and be more focused. This helps readers concentrate and understand what they read making reading a more satisfying experience. They did a wonderful job!
