The final stage in Letter Loon is all about making letters Our teachers bring learning to life by introducing children to the formations (shapes and lines) of the letters they are learning by offering opportunities for children to build each letter with various materials beads, pipe cleaners, sticks, and more!
One of the earliest pre literacy skills that children need to begin their journey as proficient readers is the recognition of print. Our teachers use hands on and explorative activities to help children develop the ability to recognize letters in various print situations. As children master their understanding of letters in print, we expand upon the next important pre literacy skill: letter sound knowledge. Through continued hands on, and explorative activities, children will learn to identify and understand the individual letter sounds associated with each one.
See it This section of our program is all about seeking out the individual letters in our names and the proper sequence that these letters go in Spell it

Take the L.E.A.P is our Literacy Exposure and Awareness Program designed to build awareness and a foundation for strong literacy skills in young children. Throughout this program, our children will experience hands on and creative ways to strengthen their knowledge of essential literacy concepts such as letter identification, letter sounds, letter formation, and learning their names. Our literacy program is divided into two parts: Letter Loon and Who Am I?

Children will be encouraged to experiment with different ways to write the letters in their name using various drawing and writing tools
