Is your child ready for kindergarten?

Communication is at the heart of learning.

Speech and language skills are essential to academic success and learning…Learning takes place through the process of communication.

Strong oral language skills help children:
  • understand what the teacher is saying
  • participate in classroom and small group activities
  • make connections with other children
  • become good readers and writers

The 8 session “School Readiness Program” focuses on oral language skills your child requires to thrive in kindergarten. These skills include:
  • following directions involving concepts like “some”, “none” and “all”
  • understanding “wh” questions such as what, where, who, when and why 
  • sequencing and storytelling skills 
  • social language skills such as starting and ending conversations appropriately 
  • pre-reading skills like identifying syllables and beginning sounds in words
