Letters, Sounds and Words

The Letters, Sounds and Words program is a fun and engaging way for community members to help young children acquire the essential literacy skills they need to be confident and successful learners. The Letters, Sounds and Words program is unique as it was designed to be easily implemented by volunteers in schools, including those with little to no previous experience working with children. The required training and the prescriptive program manuals allow volunteers to be very independent in running the program.

The program is particularly beneficial for: children who are lagging behind their peers and need additional practise with reading fundamentals and their teachers predict they will likely not need additional help beyond the 10-week boost. Children for whom english as a second language is a factor in their learning. Children who, in the professional judgment of the teacher, may need support through the schools resources for a year or two but not likely throughout their elementary schooling. The program was not designed for children whose learning difficulties require more formal, long-term approaches by an education professional.
