We prioritize enjoyment of reading over mechanics
This club aims at fostering love for stories over the mechanics of reading. It's about helping kids immerse themselves in a story, connect with the characters, experience emotions, and explore new worlds - all of which cultivate a deep affection for reading as an activity. By prioritizing enjoyment, we create a foundation where reading is not just a skill to me mastered but a source of joy and exploration.
Engagement with language is natural and inevitable
When children are allowed to lose themselves in a story, they naturally engage with the language, context, and emotions presented in the text. This organic interaction with the story enhances their comprehension and emotional intelligence without pressure of focusing solely on phonics or vocabulary. The richness of the narrative captivates their imagination, encouraging them to explore further, ask questions, and develop a lifelong love of reading.
Once that love is established, phonics and vocabulary become tools they are eager to use because they realize these tools will help them access even more stories. By allowing them to savor the story first, we are setting them up for a more meaningful and lasting relationship with reading.
Engagement in follow up activities
Kids are engages in follow up activities based off of story line, characters and learning. These activities are planned and structred around the theme of the book of the day to reinforce the learning and to savor the story after "The End". Whether it's creating artwork that reflects the story's setting, designing characters from their imagination, or crafting items that appear in the book, these activities allow the kids to connect with the story on a deeper, more personal level. They transform the narrative into something tangible and memorable, reinforcing their learning in a fun and interactive way.
