It is important that your child reads books at his reading level. If your child reads every word quickly and correctly then the book is too easy. If there are five or more words on a page that your child doesn’t know then the book is too challenging. A perfect book is a book in which your child knows most of the words and is able to read smoothly. If your child is reading at a kindergarten level, it may be challenging to find books at the appropriate reading level. I have therefore included books on Levels A, B, and C. Please view the links below and feel free to print them so your child can read them at home:

TESTIMONIAL
Sometimes it’s nice to put in text just to get an idea of how text will fill in a space on your website.
CURRICULUM
OVERVIEW
Students will delve into one letter each day. They will learn the letter sounds, words that begin with the letter, and how to read and write each letter. For example, when learning the letter “a,” students will write the capital and lower letter on their whiteboard, make a capital “A” with apple slices, and use pipe cleaners to make the lower case “a.” After students have mastered their letters, they will move on to short and long vowels, digraphs, blends, word families, c-v-c words, and then move on to Level 2.
