Phonics
Our phonics program comes from the University of Florida Reading Institute (UFLI, pronounced "you fly") which teaches children explicit and systematic phonics so that they have a stronger foundation in both reading and writing. This program is researched-based and aligns with the Science of Reading-essentially, how parts of the brain are wired to make connections for phonemes (sounds), graphemes (letters), decoding (sounding words out), and encoding (writing words).
KinderLiteracyKinderLiteracy is our reading program we use in kindergarten. It digs deep into texts to help build understanding and meaning through weekly themes that support comprehension, essential questions, and story elements.
This week's theme is Sharing and the focused text is: Rainbow Fish By: Marcus Pfister.
Today, the children will hear the story for enjoyment and build an interest in the topic and expand their prior knowledge.

~Learning routines and procedures are a big part of their day. Young children thrive on predictability and repetition so taking it slow is the key to success!
