Providing a strong foundation for early literacy development.The K1 Reading Program is structured, systematic, cumulative, and entertaining. Lessons include direct phonics instruction coupled with opportunities to engage in multi-sensory activities. The K1 program efficiently breaks down the complex process of reading into manageable 'bite-sized' skills, which in turn, allows students to rapidly achieve success one step at a time.
Engaging and Age Appropriate The purpose of the program is to bridge the gap from non-reader to reader in a short period of time relative to grade level. In first grade and above, Estrellita accelerates children through the decoding process in 6-8 weeks. Kindergarten children read within four to nine months.
Multisensory Learning The program is an accelerated, systematic, explicit phonics program which provides children with the phonics tools necessary to decode beginning reading material in Spanish. The reading materials progress in order of complexity, from simple to complex, thus providing increasing levels of difficulty. The program promotes parental involvement in children's learning
