Each week, two Read-Aloud selections are read daily to help children internalize vocabulary and concepts presented through repetition. Readings utilize the 3-step process of “Prepare, Discover, and Develop” to introduce the text, read, and reflect on the text with student-centric questions, with subsequent readings shifting to reflect new vocabulary, additional activities, and more opportunities for learners to engage with the text. Read Alouds are part of the Frog Street Preschool Literature Library, which include fiction, non-fiction, and trade titles in print and digital formats.

Laminated posters support learning and reinforce concepts taught in the curriculum. These posters can be hung on the wall and used as tools during group learning time.

Our 9” x 12” laminated photo cards feature a full-color photo on the front and language development prompts on the back that include sign language (ASL), related vocabulary, interactive discussion prompts, and support for early language acquisition. Cards will be available in English and Spanish.
