LEAP INTO LEARNING LITERACY

a foundation Structured Literacy program, designed to prepare your 4-year-old for school.

Our children don’t turn 5 and magically wake up ready for school! Our role is to guide, support and prepare them for this big transition.

Our Leap into Learning Literacy lessons follow an evidence-based Structured Literacy approach, that aligns with the approach adopted by many of our local schools. The lessons introduce your child to correct letter sounds and formations, and are carefully designed to ensure a smooth and confident transition to school.
