Curriculum
Reading is one of the the most fundamental components of Kindergarten, as children are learning all the basic skills of turning print into meaning. If done successfully, this foundation is built upon for academic success in all subject areas. At Rise & Shine, the Kindergarten program focuses heavily on phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, comprehension, and vocabulary through multiple resources to provide positive outcomes in reading. Writing will also be a heavy component in the Language Arts Curriculum, as it goes hand in hand with reading.
