Heggerty Pre-Kindergarten Curriculum
Heggerty Pre-Kindergarten Curriculum
The Heggerty Pre-Kindergarten Phonemic Awareness Curriculum is a fun and easy-to-follow program that helps young children develop early reading skills. In just 10–12 minutes a day, kids build listening and speaking skills by playing with sounds—like rhyming, clapping syllables, and identifying beginning sounds in words. These playful activities improve a child’s ability to hear and work with the sounds in spoken language, which is an important first step in learning to read. The lessons are teacher-led, but parents can support learning at home with songs, games, and reading together. The program fits easily into daily routines and helps set a strong foundation for future reading success.
