Head Start to Reading is a program designed to give young children a start in reading! There are classes for 4 and 5 year old children who will be starting Kindergarten the following year.

Head Start to Reading is a class that teaches Pre-K children how to read using sight words. These sight words are high frequency words that are found most often in print. This method is used to start the children out because the Pre-K year is usually the year that children are still learning their letters and letter sounds. Their confidence soars when they begin finding words they recognize in restaurants, on signs, and in their own books!

After the children take Head Start to Reading, they can take Next Steps to Reading, which is a class that builds on the sight word vocabulary they already know, but begins introducing phonics strategies that are necessary for becoming independent readers. Both classes can be taken before kindergarten.

Kindermusik – Mondays 1:15 – 2:00 (Children must be at least 4 yrs. old as of Sept. 1.)

Kindermusik is offered through the JWUMC Fine Arts Academy and is specifically designed by music and early childhood specialists. For more information please contact the Kindermusik Educator, Wendy Wells, www.wendywells.yourvirtuoso.com or 281-251-4362.
