Kindergarten students have been actively developing their early literacy skills, with a strong focus on recognising letters and sounds to support their emerging reading and writing. Through the InitiaLit program, they have learned the letters m, s, t, a, p,<\/strong> and i<\/strong>, and are now able to read and spell a range of simple words using these sounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learning is further strengthened during Literacy Groups, where students practise reading, writing and fine motor skills through a multisensory approach. Activities such as building words with magnetic letters, forming letters with playdough, and cutting and sorting pictures by their initial sounds help reinforce their understanding in engaging, hands\u2011on ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
