LITERACY SUPPORT

We are working very hard in grade one and two to learn the 42 sounds of the English language. 

We use a program called Jolly Phonics, which incorporates a multi-sensory approach to teaching. 

Students will often be found singing and dancing, drawing and writing, making and creating while

learning their sounds.  As we become more advanced we learn how to blend sounds together in order

to make words. That’s why we are such good readers!
