The Advanced Story Time programs target children a bit more mature than the Pre-K programs by including word-recognition exercises, allowing them to recognize and write familiar and new words in their next step toward learning to read. It also contains specific first- and second-grade sight words and more challenging words for advanced readers.
Any of these Advanced Story Time programs can be booked on the same day as the Story Time programs for Preschool programs. Contact me for info about size of the class who wants to participate, and pricing (since it varies according to size).
