Cadence Academy Preschool, Myrtle Beach

The Summer may be ending, but our love for reading is just beginning!

Our 4K class has had a great start to the school year, with students actively learning, exploring, and having fun together.

Today we celebrated National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day!!

Today our 4K teachers are attending professional development training to prepare for the upcoming school year.

We are getting closer!

🧠 What Early Reading Builds

• Vocabulary growth
• Listening comprehension
• Print awareness
• Attention & memory
• Social emotional connection
• Curiosity & imagination

"Reading to children, even before they can understand words, teaches them to associate books with love and affection"- Unknown

🧠 What’s Happening Under the Surface
Pretend reading activates the same cognitive systems that later support real reading:

Phonological awareness (hearing patterns in language)

Symbolic thinking (understanding symbols represent ideas)

Executive function (planning, sequencing, self-regulation)

Imaginative play (creativity and flexible thinking)

It’s not just cute—it’s neurological training.

Our camping theme is always one of our favorite themes. From painting with plastic insects to making s’mores, the adventures are so fun and we love hands on learning.
