Funtastico Reading
Our Early Literacy Program in English for ages 3 to 5
Starting Kindergarten is one of the most exciting milestones in a child’s life. Funtástico’s Early Literacy Program was thoughtfully designed to give young learners a nurturing and inspiring start to their literacy journey. Rooted in the Montessori philosophy and aligned with the Science of Reading (SOR), our program combines academic readiness with playful exploration. Children engage in hands-on, multisensory activities, purposeful play, and guided support that are matched to their stage of development. Each lesson introduces the foundational skills—such as phonological awareness, phonics, and early comprehension—shown by research to be essential for reading success. At the same time, we foster children’s confidence, independence, and a genuine love of learning that will carry them into Kindergarten and beyond.
