DAY 62 – Join the Preschool Team #CircuitBreaker #EmbraceDyslexia
WHAT ARE YOUR SUPERPOWERS? JOIN THE PRESCHOOL TEAM
The Preschool Early Literacy Programme began in 2006 for Kindergarten 1 and 2 preschoolers who showed dyslexic type tendencies, or developmental delay in early literacy skills. The aim of the programme is to help preschoolers develop skills and strategies to help them manage early literacy challenges, and equip them to better access the academic requirements in primary school. The DAS Preschool Educational Therapist plays a pivotal role in transforming the lives of children early. This is so that children can go to school with a smile more often than not. The programme incorporates the Orton Gillingham Approach, MOE’s NEL literacy curriculum and sound early childhood pedagogy. Preschool Educational Therapist evaluate and develop individualised intervention plan and approach to customise and specifically provide targetted learning support for each child’s learning.
A child may have an individualised approach to help them achieve, but an effective individualised approach will only be as efficient as its creator! Do you have the patience, the resilience and the drive to go all out for those under your care? The children need you, as you are their beacon of hope, the light in the tunnel and are instrumental in being able to teach them the way they learn best. You are their glimmer of hope!
Our DAS preschool educational therapists are real-life superheroes, and they all possess specialised powers.
