Family Fun with Phonics
This program introduces families to the internationally recognized Jolly Phonics program and how to use it. It incorporates multi-sensory crafts and activities that pair with the phonics sounds to make learning fun and affordable. Designed to be self-directed, families can proceed through activities at their own pace and on their own time. We recommend this program for ages 5-6 but children as young as 3 can take advantage of the basic principles (songs, craft activities, learning the sound).
This program is offered to families in the Dartmouth area via a private Facebook group.
Our next program: March 6th, 2023 - May 5th, 2023.
