Philosophy

LiteraSci is designed to capitalize on the fact that all children are eager to learn about the world that they experience everyday.

All preschool-age children have high potential for learning; this is true regardless of their socio-economic or language status. LiteraSci curriculum materials are designed so that all children, whatever their level, can increase their knowledge and skills.

• The language-rich approach supports children’s acquisition of general and science-specific vocabulary and discourse skills such as telling, describing, explaining, and questioning.
• The hands-on activities support the development of science process skills such as observation, description, comparison, classification, sequencing, and explanation.
• Literacy experiences provide opportunities for children to read and to express knowledge in writing, charts, graphs, and pictures.
• The activities provide structured and extensive explorations of children's everyday world.

The LiteraSci curriculum materials for PreK - K and Grades K, 1, 2, 3  are coherent and integrated.
