Reading S.T.A.R.S. II
Sensory Training Approach to Reading and Spelling

Reading S.T.A.R.S. I concepts are reinforced to ensure every child has a strong basis for moving ahead in the reading process, allowing age groups to mingle and role model their knowledge of phonological awareness to each other.

• Children learn to recognize patterns in words auditorily and visually through rhyming, syllable segmentation, and manipulation of phonemes.
• Children of varying abilities are able to be challenged with learning new words of various lengths during games of Bingo, Twister, Hopscotch, Steal the Bacon and more!
• Books of various lengths are also created with developmentally appropriate expectations of sentence structure, story development and lengths. Books titled, “All About Me”, “Once When I Was…..”, My Reading S.T.A.R.S Journal”, “Down by the Bay”, and “My Joke Book” are just a few of the books children can create.
• “Word Wizard”, a unique Reading S.T.A.R.S. game, reinforces the concept of segmenting words phoneme by phoneme and assigns a colored cube to each sound for children to blend and sound out words easily.
• Small Group Time happens each day with a variety of activities offered, allowing children choices of Reading; Phonological Awareness Game playing, or Writing Time to finish individual books.
