This year, we’re introducing the Fundations program to the pre-kindergarten curriculum. Our other early childhood students already use this evidence-based literacy program with great success, and we are eager to align letter and sound instruction with the approach used in the older grades. As part of the curriculum, students are creating their own alphabet books, pairing each letter with a child-made drawing of its key image. They are incredibly proud of their work! Along the way, they’re building confidence in essential early literacy skills, including visual and sound recognition, letter naming and formation, and understanding alphabetical order.
