Kindergarten Reading with Special Education Support, Semester 2

This self-paced , online course introduces kindergarten students to foundational early literacy skills through engaging, interactive lessons. Students will develop phonemic awareness, letter recognition, and basic phonics, learning to associate sounds with letters and simple words. The course encourages the development of vocabulary, listening comprehension, and early reading readiness through stories, songs, and hands-on activities. Designed to foster a love of reading, the course builds confidence and prepares young learners for success in reading and writing within a flexible, supportive online environment. Parents are supported through a dedicated online platform that provides expert guidance and practical resources. Parents will gain insight into their child’s unique learning needs, including understanding diagnoses such as autism, dyslexia, intellectual disability, or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and learn strategies tailored to their child’s preferred learning style—visual, auditory, or kinesthetic. The platform offers activities to strengthen fine and gross motor skills, essential for writing readiness and academic development. Additionally, parents receive respectful, adaptive approaches to support their child’s literacy growth at their own pace. Accessible educational tools, including Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), help customize instruction to meet each child’s needs. Families benefit from downloadable resources, a supportive community, and ongoing professional guidance to ensure a successful learning journey. This course includes 6 months of access to all materials and resources.
