Early Intervention Summer Program – Jump Start to Reading
For most children, an awareness of the phonological structure of language generally develops gradually over the preschool years and is a key indicator of later success in learning to read. Research has revealed that approximately 80% of our students with dyslexia have core deficiencies in phonological awareness, which respond well to early intervention and appropriate instruction. Our Jump Start program is designed for Pre-K and Kindergarten age students.
Jump Start to Reading aims to increase:
- letter knowledge
- phonological and phoneme awareness
- book knowledge
- vocabulary and language skills
Our classroom learning environment:
- is language-rich
- is play-based and experienced-based
- involves both center activities and group activities
- provides multiple experiences with books, vocabulary, handwriting, phonological activities, and interaction with adult-guided dialogue and language development
- allows for the creation of Portfolios of children’s writing and work
