School Readiness Resource Pack

PREPARING CHILDREN FOR BIG SCHOOL:

One of our very best selling resources is the: School Readiness Resource Pack.


This is a fantastic resource for children to use at home. For those students who attend our classes, this is a perfect representation of the concepts that we learn in School Readiness Classes and is a fantastic opportunity to reinforce the learning from the year.
Lots of packs are also purchased for children who have not attended school readiness; this is equally as beneficial as the pack is designed to complement the kindergarten literacy and numeracy program.

The additional benefit of this resource is that it is personalised for the individual child.
It is a write on/wipe off resource and can be used over and over again for additional practice.

The book of letters - each page contains one letter of the alphabet.  The letters are not in alphabetical order, but are in the same order as introduced in our classes.  This non-alphabetical letter order is detailed by research to be the best order to introduce letters to beginning readers.
This resource matches the Letter Star resource that we use to introduce beginning letter sounds.  This is coupled with a fun CD. 


Phonics 4U CD -  A CD designed with the Letter Star program, and is available with this resource as it is the way we introduce the letter names and sounds in our School Readiness Program.


 Writing Book -  The personalised writing book guides the child through the letters of the alphaet - using the letter order of the initial sound resources.  This resource uses the most assistance (outlined letter shapes) to lesser assistance (dotted letter shapes) and finally no assistance as children attempt the letters on their own.  Letters are written using guidelines





 Book of Numbers -  Another fun resource introducing the numerals 1-20, coupled with a visual representation of counting groups 1-20 and the printed word for each number. As with our literacy resources, the graphics used in this resource match the graphics used in all of the ED Specially 4U mathematical direct instruction resources (such as number concept cards)  This resource is also personalised for your child.

As well as the workbooks and CD, if this resource pack is purchased there is also two additional A4 posters which are great reminders of the initial letters/sounds of the alphabet and the numbers 1-20

This resource has been such a favourite for our students and children in the wider community.  We would love to hear how you have used your resource at home with your children in the comments below.

As with everything we do, we encourage you to enjoy our resources designed



For the Love of Learning
