Our programmes are unique in Auckland and are designed to give children the best possible transition into school Preschool Programme for Reading, Writing, Maths and Living Skills Reading and Writing Our individualised reading writing phonics and spelling programme is unique to Smart Start Preschools and has been developed over twenty years. It is a multi-sensory learning method where children learn to read and write and spell much earlier than previously thought possible. We teach all aspects of reading including sight words, phonics, writing and spelling. We believe children need the skills of a whole word and phonetic approach. The programme is designed to give children the best possible transition into school. Our systematic writing programme gives your child a jump start in the writing process. Maths The Montessori materials for maths allow the child to become familiar with numbers at an early age. All equipment is systematically and sequentially ordered, beginning with the number rods, and later working with the golden beads in conjunction with maths work books. Sensorial Education The sensorial apparatus provides the child with activities which have been systematically planned to develop the five senses, hearing, seeing, touch, taste, smell.

Early Literacy Info Early Literacy Information The Get Ready to Read! screening tool is based on the latest research on how young children learn to read. Children who enter kindergarten with strong pre-reading skills are more likely to become strong readers and students. Here is some basic information about those skills and how they are developed: Learning to read and write begins very early in children's development, well before they enter kindergarten or first grade. In fact, children begin to develop the language skills that they need for reading when they are babies. Babies listen to the sounds that adults make when they talk and then try to imitate what they hear. As they grow, babies will begin to understand common words and use them one by one. Around age 2, children start to put together simple sets of words ("Sam eat apple.") By age 3, he or she can begin to express opinions, needs and feelings. As children have conversations with adults, listen to books being read aloud, and engage in new experiences, their vocabularies grow. By the preschool years, most children can participate in conversations and tell stories. They can share feelings and ideas, and may try to imitate adult writing. These language skills are part of the foundation that children need in order to be able to learn to read.

Story Tools RELATED Reach Out and Read American Foundation for the Blind BOSTON, Massachusetts (AP) Like many girls about to turn 5, Mikaella Besson has started to learn to read. She even has a favorite book "Froggy Gets Dressed" which she reads with help from her mom. "She wants to read it over and over," Nalida Besson says. But Mikaella has never seen the words on the pages she has only felt them. The Besson family is among many who are benefitting from an expanded plan to link blind youngsters and parents with Braille books. The National Braille Press is working with the national Reach Out and Read program and the Massachusetts Commission for the Blind to distribute books, with the hopes of encouraging literacy among vision-impaired youngsters. The goal is to make people more aware of the importance of Braille, given that the number of children learning Braille has fallen 40 percent since the 1960s. "From a little seed it's developed into one of our major programs," says Bill Raeder, president of National Braille Press, based in Boston. "We've set a goal of reaching every preschool blind child in the country."

Parents of preschoolers often ask American Montessori Consulting to define just what the Maria Montessori method is and to explain how they can use the method in their home to teach their young children. Maria Montessori had a deep respect for children. She felt that each child was unique and that the learning process varied accordingly. Therefore, an environment which encourages exploration is one of the key elements of what has come to be known as the Montessori method. The presenter, be it parent or teacher acts as a companion and a confidant. The presenter's role is simply to explain and illustrate a learning activity. The child, then, attempts the exercise. Because he feels relaxed, he can request further guidance. Maria Montessori was perceptive enough to realize that children need to manipulate objects in their environment. Consequently, in most Montessori schools you will see surroundings which fit the child. Maria Montessori was the first educator to implement child-sized furniture, and to ensure that each piece of equipment needed by the child throughout the course of the day was easily accessible to him. Parents can easily tailor the environment to meet the child's need in their home. By selecting one room in the home for specialized learning, parents can somewhat duplicate the environment found in a Montessori school. Many household items can easily be converted into usable teaching aids. Some of the apparatus can be made by the parents.
