Heggerty
Heggerty is a phonemic awareness curriculum used within the Preschool Program. Phonemic awareness is the ability to understand that spoken words are made up of individual sounds called phonemes, and it’s one of the best early predictors for reading success. This a wonderful curriculum to engage and increase phonemic awareness within all our preschool learners.
