Language, Literacy, and Communication
Research has shown time and time again that young children who develop strong language and communication skills are more likely to arrive at elementary school ready to learn. This sets them on the path to becoming strong readers and writers. The preschool years are the foundation upon which these literacy skills are built. At our school we foster our students devolving language, literacy and communication skills when we talk, sing and interact with them. It is a noisy process with a lot of talking, laughing, and sharing of ideas. Our conversations with children are authentic and never scripted. We encourage children to ask questions, talk freely about their experiences and to express their ideas in their own words.
We learn new vocabulary through songs, nursery rhymes, stories and meaningful experiences.
