PAJAMAS & LITERACY
 (ENGLISH)

"My 4 year old daughter has been attending Janel's class for the last 6 months and has absolutely loved the class and gained amazing phonetic awareness. My daughter was in a play-based preschool and this class has offered the perfect bridge to providing a playful introduction to the alphabet and getting her ready to enter kindergarten confident and ready to tackle reading.

Janel provides a class that is so fun-filled, well thought out and subtly pedagogical. I cannot endorse this class enough. If you're looking to compliment your play based preschool and give your child some academic confidence...quickly contact Janel before her class fills up!"
- Liza, Palo Alto

COURSE DESCRIPTION
Feed your children dinner and bring them in their pajamas for dramatic storytelling, humorous games, compelling award-winning authors and illustrators, and a dynamic adventure through the sounds and shapes that comprise our English language. We will embark on a highly engaging journey of magic and mischief, playing with letter groups and learning about their functions. Together we often create reading and writing games, tools, and activities to work on again at home.

Using multi-sensorial play, theater, science, movement, puppets, rapping, rhyming and music, we begin the process of sight reading and sounding out words - the primary goal of the class is to inspire a love of reading and an openness to and excitement about letters and literacy.

Note:
This class is appropriate for all children who have shown an interest in letters and their sounds. It is also designed for children in non-English language immersion programs, and children for whom English is not a first language.
