Little Sprouts "I'm Ready to Read" Program
The Little Sprouts "I'm Ready to Read” September to June program and Summer programs focus on phonemic awareness (reinforcing letter sounds), the joining of letters to form words, memorizing sight words and eventually building short to long sentences using words with short and long vowel sounds. Children will learn reading rules (digraphs, blends and silent letter sounds) as well as an extensive list of sight words. Reading should be a fun and exciting experience, so games, songs and interactive group activities are incorporated to encourage interest and foster learning.

Testimonials
Ready to Read is a fantastic learning experience for our child. The small classes and individualized learning program works perfectly for these developing minds. We were thrilled in the very first week when our child came home and read to us. We wanted to keep the program a secret but it is so phenomenal that we just have to share this gem with other parents. The most important thing is that our child loves his ready to read class and loves reading anytime, anywhere! Thanks Kim for a great experience!

Our son only started in the program a few months ago and he is already reading books. We are amazed at how quick he is picking it up and he is excited to try to read anything now. We couldn't say enough about the program and how well it is being taught.
