It is our goal that your child will read and comprehend a minimum of 25 words and be able to count and recognize numbers from 1 to 100, before they begin kindergarten. We also want to ensure that they are ready to thrive in a first-grade classroom, where elementary schools begin to accelerate children’s learning of fundamental reading and math skills.
Furthermore, exposing children to language/words and building their vocabulary serve as the building blocks for their success as readers, communicators and thinkers in early childhood, during grade school and throughout their lifespan. Children with limited exposure to words and who develop limited vocabularies tend to struggle educationally when they begin school. To the contrary, children with large vocabularies tend to succeed in school and beyond.
