English for Kindergarten

Kids Academy Classroom's Kindergarten English curriculum builds on early literacy foundations, guiding children toward greater reading fluency, vocabulary growth, and writing readiness. With lessons, worksheets, games, videos, drills, and quizzes, students strengthen their knowledge of letters, sounds, and words while exploring stories, informational texts, and expressive writing.

Core areas covered:

Early literacy skills

• Reinforcing mastery of the alphabet A–Z, including recognising uppercase and lowercase letters.

• Identifying and forming letters in children’s own names.

• Building phonological awareness by recognising rhymes, isolating sounds, and pronouncing initial letters.

Foundational reading skills

• Developing phonics and word recognition with practice on syllables, suffixes, and irregular spellings.

• Strengthening understanding of long and short vowel sounds, consonant blends, and word segmentation.

• Learning to sound out CVC words, distinguish between similar spellings, and identify high-frequency sight words.

Reading literature

• Listening to and retelling familiar stories with attention to characters, setting, and major events.

• Answering questions about key details and unknown words in stories read aloud.

• Making connections between illustrations and text, recognising story structure, and comparing characters’ experiences across genres.

Vocabulary development

• Expanding word knowledge with prefixes (un-, pre-) and suffixes (-ed, -ful, -less).

• Exploring word relationships, opposites, and categories.

• Developing nuanced understanding of verbs and adjectives through acting, sorting, and contextual use.

Reading informational texts

• Answering questions about details, main ideas, and connections between people, events, and ideas.

• Identifying the role of authors and illustrators and the relationship between illustrations and text.

• Comparing similarities and differences across texts on the same topic.

Phonics and word study

• Distinguishing between long and short vowels in spoken and written words.

• Sorting words by syllables and applying inflectional endings (-s, -es).

• Recognising and understanding common prefixes and suffixes to determine word meaning.

Writing conventions

• Forming complete sentences by combining nouns and verbs.

• Using prepositions, plural nouns, and interrogative words to expand sentence structure.

• Capitalising the first word in a sentence and the pronoun I, and applying correct end punctuation.

• Practising spelling through phonetic strategies and correcting simple sentence errors.

This step-by-step structure ensures kindergarten learners build confidence and independence as readers, writers, and communicators, laying a strong foundation for success in first grade and beyond.
