Goals of the Kindergarten Curriculum:
To read phonetically is our primary goal.Confident readers are confident students in other subjects. Therefore, in grades K-2, Covenant Home devotes considerable time to thorough instruction in phonics and the application of phonics rules to reading and spelling. Using a blending approach, students are taught to read one- and two-vowel words in the kindergarten year. A complete phonics manual supplies the parent with all the words to say. Instruction includes activities forvisual, auditoryandkinestheticmethods of learning. The ball-and-stick method of penmanship instruction is used. Vowel-combination charts provide the tools for what children of this age love to do -memorize!
Accompanying our excellent Bible history book, which covers the wonderful truths of Creation and early Bible history, are the Hiding God's Word coloring sheets, which enhance the Scripture memory program. A love of poetry is fostered in kindergarten as well. An Historical coloring book and a beginning science reader enrich the program. Children are introduced to the concepts of money, time, addition, and subtraction in math.
