Why Early Literacy Matters at Phyls Academy

At Phyls Academy Preparatory School, we believe that early literacy is the foundation for lifelong learning and success. Our commitment to nurturing young minds starts from day one, with reading at the heart of our preschool curriculum. 

Phyls Academy’s Commitment to Early Literacy and Beyond

Our curriculum includes reading milestones to our classroom resources designed to nurture a love for reading. We strive to provide a solid foundation for every child. Our educators understand the importance of creating an environment where children feel supported and inspired to explore language, reading, and expression. 

Parents and teachers alike have expressed their appreciation for Phyls Academy’s dedication to literacy and the joy that our students experience in learning to read. This is a part of what makes our preschool program so special and why families continue to trust Phyls Academy as the right choice for their child’s early education.

Tips for Parents to Foster Early Literacy at Home

As partners in your child’s educational journey, we encourage parents to join us in supporting literacy at home. Here are some simple, effective tips to foster early literacy:

1. Read Together Daily: Even just 15 minutes a day can make a difference. Choose stories that interest your child and create a warm, cozy reading environment.
2. Engage with the Story: Ask questions as you read, like “What do you think will happen next?” or “How do you think the character feels?” This encourages your child to think critically and connect with the story.
3. Incorporate Storytelling in Play: Storytelling doesn’t have to be limited to books! Encourage your child to create their own stories, whether they’re drawing, playing with toys, or making up songs.

These small daily practices help reinforce what children are learning in the classroom and make reading an enjoyable, meaningful activity.
