📚 Investing in Early Literacy for Our Youngest Learners
Seven of our Pre-K teachers are currently participating in Early Childhood LETRS training, strengthening their knowledge and instructional strategies to build strong literacy foundations for our youngest students.
During this training, teachers are exploring phonological awareness development, rhyme and sound progression, the linguistic hierarchy, and the components of phonological processing. The session also focuses on print knowledge from ABC to XYZ, including effective alphabet instruction, print awareness, name and message writing, and early writing development.
By continuing to grow and learn, our teachers are ensuring that every child has the strong start they need on their journey to becoming confident readers.
