Squishmallows Know Letters and Sounds! Come Along, Beginners! (3-6)

Join us in this fun and engaging phonics and beginner Squishmallow reading club where young learners will explore letters and sounds through interactive games, choral chants, movement, and hands-on activities! Each week, we’ll focus on a new set of letters and sounds, using a multi-sensory learning approach to build early reading confidence.

Students will:
✅ Recognize letters and their sounds
✅ Strengthen fine motor skills with tracing, writing letters, simple words and hands-on activities
✅ Develop listening and turn-taking skills through interactive games
✅ Build school readiness skills in a fun, supportive environment


This class is perfect for preschoolers, pre-K, and young kindergarteners who are just beginning their literacy journey. No prior knowledge is required—just a love for learning and having fun!
