Children love to be engaged in having fun and are excited by the world of literacy. The “Literacy for Beginner” featuring the Letterland® program takes children to an imaginary world where letters come to life! Children are introduced to the letters of the alphabet through visual stimuli, music, rhyme, movement, craft, games, counting and much more. They are immersed in the world of literacy to build confidence and skills to enable reading and writing to develop. Children develop a bond with their newly acquired characters which flows into the child’s imaginative play, art experiences and social interactions.

Classes for 3 to 4 year old children:
This program introduces children to the alphabet and the sounds of the alphabet by taking them to an imaginary place called Letterland®. Whilst in Letterland® letters come to life! Children enjoy learning through rhyme, music, craft, games, counting and much more. The class operates on Thursdays from 9.15a.m. to 10.15a.m.
Classes for 4 to 5 year old children:
Once children link the Letterland® character with their sound then it is time to teach them how to use these skills. These sessions will consolidate children’s knowledge of sounds with songs, rhymes, craft activities and stories then move into making words. Introducing correct pencil grip and using interactive fun songs, we will introduce children to writing letters. Children will borrow a book each week to read together at home. During Term Four, the children are involved in the Bacchus Marsh Grammar transition program in readiness for their start to their formal school years.
Children do not need to have participated in the 3-4 year old session before joining the 4-5 year old child program. The class operates on Thursdays from 11.15am - 12.15pm; and 1.45pm - 2.45pm.
