The class uses the curriculum from Neuhaus Education Center, Reading Readiness Skills and is structured in five parts: Letter Recognition Phonological Awareness Oral Language Multi-sensory Letter Introduction Handwriting Skills are taught explicitly and are the basics for a child to learn to read independently. Students use plastic letters to understand the alphabet. They manipulate sentences and words to build their phonological awareness. Vocabulary is strengthened through oral language activities, and multi-sensory strategies are used to learn correct formation of letters to refine handwriting. This class is engaging to young learners through hands-on multi-sensory activities. This research based approach teaches kids the prerequisite literacy skills to master reading. This is phase I of an established approach that has proven results. They will be moving through the process over the course of the semester and should register for phase II following completion.
