Letter-Sound Correspondence

Phonics teaches that letters (or groups of letters) correspond to specific sounds. For instance, "c" can represent the /k/ sound (as in cat) or the /s/ sound (as in circle)..

Blending

Blending is the ability to combine individual sounds to form words. For example, blending the sounds /c/ /a/ /t/ creates the word cat.

Segmenting

Segmenting is the opposite of blending and involves breaking down words into their individual sounds. For example, the word "dog" can be segmented into /d/ /o/ /g/.

Digraphs

Digraphs are two letters that together make one sound. For example, "ch" in chat, "th" in this, and "sh" in ship.

Silent Letters

The Handwriting class aims to help students develop neat, legible, and consistent handwriting. Through practice and guided exercises, students will improve their fine motor skills, learn proper pencil grip, and practice letter formation. Whether it’s cursive or print writing, our program focuses on helping students develop a writing style that is both legible and efficient. Good handwriting is a crucial skill that boosts confidence in both academic and personal writing.
