Phonemic Awareness
Introducing phonemic awareness, alphabet sounds and knowledge which in turn supports language development in fun and age-appopriate ways.
Handwriting & Spelling
Development of spelling which aids in the development of reading/writing by forming connections between sounds and letters, and addressing writing by practicing our pencil grip and correct letter development.
Reading
Introducing and fostering of reading skills, which includes speaking and listening skills and the introduction of simple decodable texts and words.
Class Routine
Children learn how to master day-to-day tasks required when in a formal classroom setting, in preparation for school.
Evidence-based
Our literacy learning theme is developed from evidence-based research with specific goal-based activities, to engage children’s interest. The letters are introduced in a logical and sequential manner with help from Milo the Monkey, which is the character the children will get to know and love throughout the program.
We use a fabulous range of multi-sensory resources as well as play games and make learning lots of fun! We promote thinking through a range of different ways, which will be sure to engage children’s interests. All of this creates a strong base of knowledge for children to build on when they begin school.
Your child will love learning literacy and will gain great results from it!

Our Classes
Our literacy learning theme is a core theme within our Twinkle Tots 2-3 year-old and Creative Minds 4-6 year-old lessons, not a program on it’s own.
The lessons cover all three of our core themes, literacy, numeracy and mindfulness under one single class which is what makes our offering unique.
