The primary goal of the kindergarten year is to teach students to read. Our program for phonics instruction is First Start Reading. Phonics is most effective when taught methodically, thoroughly, intensively, and logically. We begin with one sound for each letter and start blending consonants with short vowels immediately to form the three-letter phonetic words that children learn first. Additional sounds for letters are taught in the context of word families. Common sight words that break phonetic rules are taught and reviewed throughout the year. Formal phonics instruction continues after kindergarten within the Traditional Spelling program and literature guides. Our approach to reading includes systematic phonics and daily exposure to good literature in the form of readaloud books. These are scheduled in our Enrichment Guides and lesson plans. In an effort to promote a lifelong love of literature, we offer good books that captivate the imagination of children and motivate them to want to be readers. We capitalize on the enthusiasm of the budding reader by emphasizing that all books can teach—including vocabulary, geography, history, science, and, most importantly, the condition of human life.
