What Students Will Learn
Our readiness skills program introduces young learners to the essential foundations they need for early academic success, including visual discrimination, auditory discrimination, and left-to-right sequencing. Students begin developing early literacy abilities, such as letter recognition, phonemic awareness, listening comprehension, and the early steps of reading, all through playful, hands-on activities. They will also strengthen early numeracy skills by exploring number sense, counting, patterns, shapes, sorting, and basic problem-solving.
In addition to academic foundations, children build important fine and gross motor skills that support writing, movement, and hand-eye coordination. Social and emotional readiness is another core component of the program, helping students learn how to share, cooperate, communicate, self-regulate, and interact confidently with peers.
We also focus on classroom routines and behaviours, such as following instructions, transitioning between tasks, and completing activities, which play a key role in a smooth and successful start to school. Together, these skills equip young learners with the confidence and readiness needed for stronger learning development.
