English · Pre-K
Children learn "big" words for everyday ideas (enormous, tiny, soaked, exhausted, delicious), use group words such as fruit, vehicles and tools and explain why something belongs, and practise keeping a conversation going by adding an idea or asking a question on the same topic.
English · Pre-K
Listening games that make the parts of language visible: children count the words in a short spoken sentence, blend and split syllables (ta-ble makes table), and both hear and make rhymes, including spotting the word that does not rhyme.
English · Pre-K
Children tune in to the very first sound of spoken words: they hear that moon starts with /m/, match and sort pictures that begin with the same sound, and blend a first sound with the rest of a word (/s/ ... un makes sun). Everything is spoken; letters come in the next course.
English · Pre-K
Children meet six starter letters, m, s, t, a, p and n, in capital and small form, learn the sound each one makes, and find the letter for the first sound of a picture word (sun starts with s). These six letters begin the PlayOwl sound–spelling sequence that Kindergarten continues.
English · Pre-K
Children learn who makes a book (the author writes the words, the illustrator draws the pictures), that we read words from left to right and from the top line down, and that words are groups of letters with spaces between them, so we can count the words in a line and point to each one as we read.
English · Pre-K
Children listen to an original story, Lola and the Little Seed, and learn to name its characters, setting and main events, retell it with a beginning, middle and end, and explain how a character feels and why. A new story in the quiz checks that the skills transfer.
English · Pre-K
Children discover fact books: books that tell true information about real things. They compare a fact book with a make-believe story, learn how a tadpole becomes a frog from an informational read-aloud and its pictures, and practise asking and answering questions that a fact book can answer.
English · Pre-K
Children become book makers. They plan a little book with one topic and pages in order, dictate a sentence for each page and learn that every spoken word becomes a written word, and label their drawings using letters they know, starting with the letter for the first sound.
