Teaching Early Literacy with Clarity and Confidence
At Bright Grove Preschool we use the science-backed and play-based Moving Little Minds curriculum.
Why Moving Little Minds?
Inside Moving Little Minds, we teach the exact skills children need for reading success:
alphabet knowledge
phonological awareness
early writing skills oral
language and comprehension
But we teach them in a way that actually sticks:
alphabet hunts in our letter cycle system
movement-based learning
puppet games
hands-on activities to make learning fun
Children are still practicing key skills, they’re just doing it in a way that is:
engaging
developmentally appropriate
aligned with how young children learn best
We use simple, hands-on activities that build literacy through movement, play, and repetition:
movement games and clapping activities
sensory letter exploration
playful letter formation and phonological awareness
songs, poems, and whole-body letter motions
letter cycle hands-on games
The Result
We’re not just “covering” literacy, we’re building it!
We’re watching children:
remember letters
hear and play with sounds in words
engage in learning instead of resisting it
And most importantly…
Parents can feel confident knowing their children are being taught in a way that is both research-based and realistic for preschool!
Grounded in How Kids Want to Learn
Science-Based Approach
Grounded in the two key strands of the science of reading – phonics and phonological awareness – our curriculum provides a solid foundation for future reading success.
Move & Learn
Little bodies learn best through movement! Our curriculum incorporates action-packed activities to get children wiggling and learning letter sounds simultaneously.
A Sensory Symphony
From exploring letters with textured materials to flashlight letter hunts, we engage all of your child's senses, making learning fun and interactive for diverse learners.
Phonological Awareness Powerhouse
Clapping poems, body movement activities, and engaging games build strong foundations in sound awareness – the crucial first step to reading.
Exposure to the Alphabet
We introduce children to the wonderful world of the alphabet, teaching them both letter names and sounds in a playful and memorable way.
Lessons Built for Attention Span
Short, engaging activities ensure students stay focused and engaged, making learning a positive experience for both children and teachers.
