Learning Levels

The Hoots are learning something new at each level

Lil’ Hoots I & II: (1 ½ – 2 ½ years old)
Milestones we meet: Social & Emotional (transitioning, manners, patience, separation anxiety), Language/Communication (vocabulary, word association), Cognitive (learning, thinking, problem-solving)  & Fine Motor Movement.

Lil’ Hoots are given more attention to bolster any feelings of separation anxiety. They are young and usually away from mommy and daddy for the first time. Fine Motor skills are developed through manipulatives and play. Listening skill building is addressed.

Kiddie Hoots: I & II: (2 ½ – 3 ½ years old)
Milestones we meet: Social & Emotional (transitioning, manners, patience, separation anxiety), Language/Communication (vocabulary, word association) Cognitive (learning, thinking, problem- solving)  & Fine Motor Movement

Kiddie Hoots are introduced to letter recognition and given little attention to separation anxiety. They are starting to mature and become curious. KW’s have been exposed to other group settings, through nursery schools and classes.  A big emphasis is placed on letter recognition and formation. Children are starting to grip their big crayons to make strokes before learning how to formally write letters.

Pre Hoots: I & II: (3 ½ – 4 years old)
Milestones we meet: Social & Emotional (transitioning, manners, patience, separation anxiety), Language/Communication (vocabulary, word association), Cognitive (learning, thinking, problem-solving)  & Fine Motor Movement.

Pre Hoots now learn phonemes and print awareness. These children already attend a part-time preschool and are exposed to separation. PW’s are writing their names in all uppercase and are starting to make formations of letters with most emphasis on uppercase.

Kinder Hoots: I & II: (4 – 5 years old)
Milestones we meet: Social & Emotional (transitioning, manners, patience, separation anxiety), Language/Communication (vocabulary, word association), Cognitive (learning, thinking, problem-solving)  & Fine Motor Movement.

Kinder Hoots know their sounds and letters. They are writing their name in title case and forming all uppercase and lowercase letters. Kindergarten readiness is the main focus during this age group.

Kindergarten & First Grade Tutoring (6-7 years old)
Book Nook tutors children ages 6-7 years old with sight words, reading comprehension, fluency, decoding and phonics. Instruction takes place in a small group setting. Classes are scheduled from 3:30-5:00. We work with your child to build self confidence and motivation fostering skills in emergent reading.

 

 

 

Note: Instruction is based on the level of the child and what skills he/she will most likely be working on.  A more detailed lesson for each class will be given in the welcome packet after enrollment.
