Description
"“The Magic of Words” Program Overview In the Magic of Words class, children will engage in a thoughtfully designed literacy program that nurtures a love for reading and builds foundational language and comprehension skills. Through carefully selected books and engaging activities, students will develop a deeper understanding of stories and the structure of books. Key components of the program include: 1. Traditional Storytime Sessions • Children will participate in regular, interactive storytime sessions featuring a variety of age-appropriate books read aloud by the instructor. • These sessions are designed to enhance listening skills, imagination, and enjoyment of literature. 2. Understanding Story Structure and Sequencing • Students will learn to identify the parts of a story, including the beginning, middle, and end. • Focus will be placed on recognizing story flow, character development, setting, and basic plot. 3. Vocabulary Development • With each story, new vocabulary will be introduced and discussed in context. • This will help children improve their language comprehension and verbal expression. 4. Illustration Appreciation • Children will explore the role of illustrations in storytelling and how pictures enhance understanding of the narrative. • They will also begin to make predictions and inferences based on visual cues. 5. Author and Illustrator Awareness • Students will be introduced to the concepts of “Written by” (author) and “Illustrated by” (illustrator). • They will learn to identify these roles on book covers and understand the contributions each makes to a story. 6. Introduction to Literary Genres • Children will be exposed to different types of books, including fiction, non-fiction, and fantasy. • They will begin to distinguish between real and make-believe stories, learning key characteristics of each genre. 7. Weekly Book Exploration • Each week, a new book will be introduced to keep the content fresh and engaging. • Children will explore the book’s vocabulary, story structure, illustrations, and genre through guided discussion and activities. 8. Unit-End Story Reviews • At the end of each unit, children will revisit all the books covered during that time. • These reviews will consolidate their learning and reinforce vocabulary, story comprehension, and genre identification"
