Open to students age 4 by January 1st

Book Worms is designed to increase children's love for literature and books while enriching their language arts skills and other subject areas within the Illinois Department of Education Early Learning and Development Standards.
Our BookWorms Preschool class focuses on identifying and comprehending the important building blocks of literacy and language including rhymes and phonemic awareness through popular authors and illustrators. The children will focus on classic authors and their writing style; (i.e. Eric Carle, Leo Lionni, Audrey Wood, Doreen Cronin)!
The children will explore language arts, art, science and math through literature. The children will also focus on classic illustrators; learn how illustrators illustrate books as well as learn to illustrate their own books.
The children will develop and explore their knowledge of rhyming words and environmental words and phonemic awareness. Beginning reading skills are explored through simple sight words, journaling, charting, graphing and much more!
