Our in-demand school holiday program is back for 1-week only from 20th-24th January 2025!
Give your child the confidence to step into the classroom next year with improved literacy, listening and social skills! And we promise they’ll have a whole lot of fun. ☺️
We designed the ‘Get School Ready’ Holiday Program to help children develop listening skills, improve social skills, follow instructions, develop an awareness of classroom routines, and kick-start their love of learning! What’s not to love? ❤️
Which holiday program is best for my child?
- GROUP A: for children at the very start of their reading journey.
- GROUP B: for children who have already developed some early skills and have made a start on their reading journey.
Three locations to choose from:
- Williams Landing
- Caroline Springs, and
- Wantirna.
With only eight students in each class, our ‘Get School Ready’ Holiday Program fills up fast.
Bookings are now open. Check your Reading Bees app for all the details.
What will my child learn in the GROUP A holiday program?
GROUP A is suited for children at the beginning of their reading journey.
This includes children who:
- have limited or no phonics knowledge
- may know their alphabet (letter names) but not the sounds of each of the letters
- may know some sounds but are not yet able to hear how they go together to make a word
- are not yet able to recognise simple words in text
The GROUP A program will introduce children to a select set of letters and sounds to begin creating, recognising, and writing a range of simple words.
Activities will also focus on developing their phonological awareness—an essential skill when learning to read—including syllables, rhyme, and hearing sounds in words.
Dates: Monday 20th January – Friday 24th January 2025
Class size: 8 students or less
Class duration: 75 minutes daily classes
Cost: $285 all-inclusive for the 5-day program
What will my child learn in the GROUP B holiday program?
This GROUP B class is for children who have already developed some early skills and have made a start on their reading journey.
This includes children who:
- have some early phonics knowledge (i.e. know many of the sounds that the 26 letters of the alphabet make)
- can hear how sounds go together to make a word (i.e. if you say “b-u-g”, they can tell you the word)
- can attempt to sound out and read simple ‘consonant-vowel-consonant’ words
- can recognise simple words in text
The GROUP B program will focus on consolidating the children’s prior phonics knowledge and extending their ability to read and write simple words and sentences with a more extensive range of sounds.
Activities will also focus on strengthening their sound awareness and improving their fluency when reading.
Dates: Monday 20th January – Friday 24th January 2025
Class size: 8 students or less
Class duration: 75 minutes daily classes
Cost: $285 all-inclusive for the 5-day program
We can’t wait to see you at our ‘Get School Ready’ Holiday Program in January!
