Advanced Reading & Math – Custom Learning Paths

Preschool through elementary school is a crucial time in a child’s development, and a good curriculum can significantly impact a child’s future success. Reading is an essential skill that encompasses all aspects of learning and is an integral part of our curriculum. Here are some of the benefits of our reading program at Cranium Academy:

Children develop a love for reading

Children who begin reading from a young age tend to develop an interest in reading. Advanced reading promotes a love for books and stories and helps children develop emotional connections to the characters they encounter. Children who love reading tend to perform better academically, have a more extensive vocabulary, and develop better communication skills.

Exposure to different genres

 In preschool, children are like sponges, absorbing everything they see and hear. Advanced reading helps expose children to different genres and styles of writing. This exposure allows children to appreciate various literature forms and styles, leading them to become more well-rounded readers.

Language Skills Development

Advanced reading also helps children to build on their language skills. Children are at a prime age to learn new languages quickly, and reading can help enhance their vocabulary, grammar, and comprehension skills. Advanced reading helps children learn new words in context, making them more likely to retain and integrate them into daily communication.

Cultivate critical thinking

Reading can also help to cultivate critical thinking skills. It encourages children to ask questions, make predictions, and assess characters’ motives in different scenarios. The more advanced the reading material, the more the child must think critically, encouraging their minds to grow and develop in different directions.

Advanced reading is an essential component of any preschool curriculum. Exposing children to different genres, building language skills and critical thinking, cultivating their love for reading, and helping them develop confidence are just a few ways advanced reading can impact a preschooler’s academic success. Encouraging and supporting advanced reading as part of a preschool curriculum can help children build a strong foundation for lifelong learning.

Helps Develop Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving

Social studies, at its core, is about studying human behavior. Social studies education helps children develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills by analyzing historical events and studying current social issues. Students learn to think critically about complex social, political, and economic problems, identifying the root causes and working towards solutions.

Encourages Civic Engagement and Responsible Citizenship

Social studies education promotes civic engagement by teaching young children to be interested in democratic principles and how they relate to their rights and responsibilities. Social studies education also helps children understand the significance of civic responsibility, which means participating in government, following laws and rules, and contributing to society.

Fosters Cultural Awareness and Respect for Diversity

Social studies also help children develop cultural awareness and appreciation for diversity. Social studies education helps children understand different cultural backgrounds, languages, and customs. By teaching children about other cultures and traditions, social studies encourages them to understand and appreciate different perspectives.
