The reading curriculum includes developing alphabet knowledge, phonemic awareness, comprehension and enjoyment of books. The writing curriculum includes handwriting, spelling, story structure and using details. The math curriculum includes number concepts, measurement, patterns, time and money. By the end of kindergarten, students are expected to demonstrate skills in all of these areas as well as science and social studies concepts.
