Learning the Letters in Kindergarten
When teaching a letter, we follow a structured approach that includes:
✔ Introducing the letter
✔ Letter formation
✔ Letter recognition and identification
✔ Sound recognition and identification

Learning to read in Grade 1
The Grade 1 Happy Letters program expands on the foundational skills introduced in Kindergarten. The curriculum follows a structured, systematic sequence of literacy topics that grow in complexity as students build their skills. Each module builds on previously acquired skills, reinforcing familiar concepts while introducing new ones. Within each module, students move through explicit instruction, guided practice, and independent work. Lessons focus on phonics patterns, letter-sound correspondence, and decoding strategies, so students master foundational skills before moving to more complex reading tasks.

Building Reading Fluency in Grade 2
Building on the essentials from Grade 1, the Grade 2 Happy Letters program deepens students' phonics knowledge. Students learn additional vowel teams and spelling–sound correspondences, distinguish between long and short vowels, and apply this knowledge to decoding words. The curriculum also introduces common prefixes and suffixes, helping students begin to see how word parts contribute to meaning. Each module builds on previously learned skills while gradually introducing new patterns and word structures. Through a mix of explicit instruction, guided practice, and independent work, students strengthen their decoding accuracy, vocabulary, and reading fluency.
