πβ¨ Term 4 Tutoring Fun! β¨π

From βOnce upon a time...β to βAnd they all lived happily ever after,β we explored the magic of structure in storytelling. ππ Itβs amazing to see how ideas flow when we collaborate and think outside the box!

ππ So proud of my little superstar, Ivy! π She just completed 10 consecutive weeks of daily reading! ππ With her reading sticker chart filled up, she tackled 5 nights a week and even added some Saturday sessions!
Ivy explored a fantastic range of decodable texts from Little Learners Love Literacy, Dandelion Launchers, and Sounds Write. These books have truly boosted her confidence and motivation to read! πͺβ¨ Iβve seen her reading skills improve dramatically, all thanks to just a few minutes of reading each day. Ivy is all set to tackle her first year of school, next year!
Keep shining, Ivy! π Go Ivy! π₯³β€οΈ

πβ¨ We have started a reading sticker chart with my daughter! π Even though she already loves reading, the chart will serve as a visual reminder of her reading progress and a fun way to track her nightly reading adventures.
ππ« Completing this chart will be a huge achievement for her at the age of 5, and it will help cultivate great reading habits for her upcoming journey in prep next year!
