SOTG Partners with Letters Are Characters
School on the Green, a non-profit parent cooperative preschool partners with Caroline Wilcox-Ugurlu and her Letters are Characters literacy curriculum to bring a “play-based, reading program for emerging readers.” Funded by Litchfield Education Foundation (LEF) the Letters are Characters book and other program materials, weekly “letters from the author” and pre-recorded mini-lessons are being offered to area preschoolers through a virtual program this school year. Letters are Characters program includes a curriculum for parents which includes information about the science of reading. The intention of the program is to protect as many children as possible from reading failure by building awareness and increasing understanding about reading acquisition.
