A road map for developing pre-literacy skills is available at the Fundamental Learning Center. Using the curriculum units, In The Kitchen and On The Farm, you will learn to map lessons for preschool-aged children. These units provide a light script for 15 minute’s worth of activities that are easy to follow, build vocabulary, and provide materials. As you move from In The Kitchen to On The Farm, oral language expands as it relates to letters, sounds, numbers, print awareness and phonological awareness skills. You and your child will have fun as you experience the hands-on activities, songs, finger-plays, and stories.

“I started teaching at Shirley Mayes in March of last year.  As”In the Kitchen” had already been in progress, I was impressed by the children’s knowledge of “short” and “long” words. As I began to teach the curriculum myself, I was continually impressed by relative ignorance about the curriculum. After attending this training, I am so excited to begin the new school year. After seeing the research behind this curriculum, I totally believe in it. I loved that Jeanine went into enough detail to explain why things are set up the way they are. I feel very prepared to help my preschoolers learn solid pre-reading and pre-literacy skills.

I also appreciated all the research presented that lead up to the idea that THIS program — because it teaches and promotes language and literacy — could be the key to our impoverished children becoming successful. And if they are successful, we are on our way to winning the war on poverty.”
