2023 will see the expansion of the program to include an afternoon session for the younger children. The "older" ones (2 1/2-3 years old) will continue in the mornings. This allows for differentiated teaching and more opportunity for appropriate developmental activities.
Included in their afternoon session for tutoring and doing homework the school age children will have a time for reading one-on-one with a teacher twice a week. The purpose is to promote reading for fun and thus increase the children's desire to read as well as fill gaps in their reading skills. We also have a devotional time for the children each week to introduce them to the Bible using stories, songs and activities.
There was a training session for the teachers last week with tips on how to work with the children's reading program as well as ideas for the preschool curriculum. This program will begin when public school classes start on Feb. 2. (Brazilian school year is by calendar year).
