Sylvan's personalized pre-K programs will encourage your child to love reading.
Pre-K is the ideal time to begin building a love for learning. Sylvan's pre-K reading enrichment program is available to children who have not started school, but are ready to boost their early reading skills. Your child may be ready for pre-K reading if he:
- Is 4½ - 5 years of age
- Sits down to listen to a story from beginning to end
- Shows interest in letters of the alphabet and books
- Relates pictures in books to stories
- Pretends to read by retelling a story
Sylvan's individualized approach builds a solid reading foundation.
- Personalized plan: After evaluating your child's reading readiness, we'll design a personalized plan that encourages a love of learning and meets his individual reading needs.
- Motivational instruction and practice: Your child's trained and certified Sylvan reading tutor will make the written word come alive with fun books like Chicka Chicka Boom Boom and Leo the Late Bloomer. A proven multi-sensory approach is used, allowing your child to see, hear, touch and move as he builds his reading foundation.
- Proven programs: We'll focus on the building blocks of reading including phonics, phonemic awareness, oral comprehension and vocabulary-grade-level skills consistent with guidelines established by the National Institute for Literacy and the International Reading Association.
