Dear Parents/Families and Students, The right preparation and guidance makes all the difference in a child’s academic and life experiences. This is why I decided to earn a Master’s degree in Early childhood Education. Helping a child to understand the importance and benefits of phonics and phonemic awareness makes it easier to improve on his/her literacy skills as they move up in school. I have 2 years experience on working with children from Pre-k through 3rd grade to help them understand.
