Our read-aloud story class offers an engaging and interactive learning experience. Each class includes a lively read-aloud session, where the teacher brings the best stories to life. Themes will be introduced through the stories, to help children learn how to discuss books, and to see the value of books beyond entertainment. Each week, the teacher will emphasize a different part of speech and help the children identify these parts in a book. Children will set goals for their at-home reading, and will be invited to read books similar to the ones read in class. Our read-aloud story class not only fosters a love for reading but also provides a solid foundation for future literacy development.

The idea for this class is based on the TV series LEGO Masters in which teams compete to create the best LEGO build of the week. Teams not only need to build something fantastic based on the parameters and topic set by the teacher of the class, but they also must incorporate a great story as well. Builders will have opportunity to tell classmates about their builds, give positive peer feedback and use their creative skills and available LEGO pieces to design and collaborate with others. There is also optional homework with this class.
