Begin Bright classes: For children 3 – 5 years old

Letterland

Letterland is a child friendly, multi-modal system for teaching children to read, write and spell. The secret of its worldwide success lies in its pictogram characters and their ability to make learning fun!

Set in a delightful place called Letterland these pictograms are a careful fusion of letters and animated characters. These simple and powerful images contain the basic phonic information that children need for accessing print. At a more advanced level, stories about their interactions provide logical reasons for all the essential recurring spelling patterns in the English language.

Our Letterland classes are designed for children from 3 – 5 years old. Classes are great fun and a brilliant head start in the world of reading.

The Letterland pictograms activate every learning channel, linking all the things that children love – social interaction, movement, art, craft, drama and rhyme – directly to letter knowledge.

Letterland provides a realistic parallel world which bridges the gap between abstract print and the real world, creating a secure learning environment where children can happily develop cognitive, language and literacy skills including:

phonemic awareness
alliteration and symbol/sound relationships
letter formation
blending and segmenting
word and sentence building
vocabulary and language
imaginative play

Children will enjoy our Letterland program with its emphasis on rhyme, music, craft, games and FUN!
