Extra Activities
Letterland - Successfully teaching your child to read and write
Letterland is a unique, phonics based approach to teaching, reading, writing and spelling for 3-8 year olds. Letterland provides a link between letter sounds and letter shapes.
At Maylands Early Learning Centre we believe it is essential that our preschool children are given a solid foundation in phonics before moving to primary school. Letterland helps to build this foundation in a unique play based way.
Your preschool child has free access to computers at Maylands Early Learning Centre. This well established and successful system will help teach your child
• to listen and use spoken language
• explore and experiment with language
• sustain attentive listening and respond to what they have heard
• extend their vocabulary and explore the meaning of sounds and new words
• hear and say initial sounds and words
• link sounds to letters, name sounds and letters of the alphabet
• know that print carries meaning and is read from left to right
Kinda Dance and Happy Feet
These programs enable children to develop their creative abilities, use their imagination, gain an understanding of rhythm, increase co –ordination and improve self confidence.

Through movement children are able to tune their fine and gross motor skills and further develop such skills as concentration, listening to directions, working together in a group and waiting their turn, whilst they are simply having fun!
