We’re talking letter recognition, phonics, phonemic awareness, and vocabulary. Couple that with some added background knowledge and awareness of the world around them, and our young readers are ready to expand their minds in a big way. eSpark’s early reading curriculum includes read-along stories, interactive games, and a variety of instructional videos.
