Building literacy skills that inspire lifelong readers
Aligned to research-based best practices, the sound and letter lessons in PreK On My Way: Literacy are designed to visit each letter multiple times, building alphabet knowledge and phonological awareness— key predictors of future literacy. Alphabet Knowledge: Throughout the year each letter of the alphabet is explored multiple times. Activities include a focus on letter name, letter sound, letter sound in spoken words, letter in written words, and letter formation. In alignment with current research, phonemic awareness is integrated into every alphabet lesson. Early Phonological Awareness: Children discover the sounds of the English language through activities with rhyme, alliteration, compound words, initial sounds, ending sounds, and onset and rime. The program integrates direct application of these phonological awareness skills, including systematic phonemic awareness practice.
