Learning Skills

Word building: Word building
To read and write, children must understand how individual letter sounds blend together to make words.
Phonics skills: Phonics skills
Before they can read independently, children must learn the relationship of letters to their sounds and be able to distinguish individual sounds, or phonemes, within words. Phonics skills help children sounds out new words (If I can read "pot", then I can read "hot" and "spot").
Sorting: Sorting
From blocks to cars to dolls, infants and toddlers actively arrange the objects around them, using visual discrimination to group objects by attributes such as shape, size and colour. By Pre-school, sorting develops into the school skill of classification.
Matching: Matching
Matching develops early logic and reasoning skills and is a component of early maths and literacy. Children match like objects, shapes, patterns, pictures and stories, letters to sounds and pictures to words.
Food groups: Food groups
Understanding of food groups helps children make smart choices concerning their health and nutrition.
Nutrition: Nutrition
