Literacy involves the ability to gain meaning from print and pictures.
In kindergarten, students learn about concepts of print, the alphabet and learn to appreciate literature. Emphasis is on building strong foundations for the students to manipulate and learn about patterns of language. First graders explore language through a variety of methods and materials. Multi-sensory approaches take different learning styles into account and help reach all students. The development of decoding skills along with building sight word vocabulary help promote independent readers and writers.
