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 Creative Beginnings 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 Creative Beginnings Early Learning and Kindergarten 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
