Starting school can be overwhelming for children about to enter kindergarten (and for their parents)! Berkeley Academic's K-Prep is an enrichment program designed to ease pre-K children into the classroom setting by building confidence through fundamental skills and knowledge. Students will learn and develop basic classroom social skills (i.e. independent and cooperative learning), listening/oral language skills, and our curricula will introduce/strengthen necessary language arts and math skills, through a fun and interactive learning environment.
It's never too early to prepare your child for success. Berkeley Academic's First Grade Program is designed to build on the academic skills learned in kindergarten and encourage students to achieve their highest potential. Our First Grade Language Arts curricula includes, but is not limited to: phonemic awareness, decoding, phonics, reading comprehension, and spelling. The math component will expand upon concepts learned in kindergarten, including, but not limited to: number sense, geometry, and basic addition. Berkeley Academics uses multi-sensory activities, which will promote fun and active learning - our aim is for our first graders to develop a love for learning!
Using a variety of learning and memorization techniques, students will build an extensive vocabulary. Words will be ingrained through drilling, writing, testing, and visual aids. Students will not only memorize but also learn to use words in the correct context.
Students will be equipped with effective critical reading skills. Reading through a wide variety of excerpts taken from different genres, students will strengthen their analytical abilities through answering multiple questions on the excerpts. Students will learn to identify both main points and specific details within the text.
Practice makes perfect. Through drilling and supplemental worksheets, students will enhance speed and accuracy. With assistance from tutors, each student will work at his or her own pace to target areas that need improvement.
Learning how to write an effective multiple-paragraph essay is an essential skill for future academic success. In this course, students will learn how to arrange paragraphs to develop an idea, with attention to the following components: unity, coherence, sentence fluency, transitional devices, brainstorming, outlining and logical progression. At Berkeley Academics, we believe that with immediate instructor feedback and through a multiple revision process, students will improve their writing and receive necessary grammar, usage, style, and word choice assistance.
