Class Strategy
Let's take your child's reading to the next level! Boost their enjoyment and understanding of books through games, crafts, and scripts! Using exercises that utilize improv, puppets, storyboarding, repetition, and character "work", your child will find a voice for their characters. Classes for our pre- and emergent readers (4-5yo) focus more on expanding sight word inventory, expressing emotion through text, and fun with characters.
Playing with words and "performing" in a nurturing environment, contributes to a child's fluency and confidence. Check out our blog to read more about how we structure our classes.
Whether your child has a budding interest in theater or is aspiring to move up a reading level, our class is a fresh, fun ensemble experience.
