Description
Program A
3 months
Builds exposure to and delight in learning Filipino through storytelling, songs and games. Each 45-minute class aims to build vocabulary, comprehension, and oral communication skills while instilling an appreciation for the Filipino language and culture. Learning is structured around specific themes, weaving in traditional values and practices that are uniquely Filipino.
Program B
3 months
Teaches children how to read in Filipino while providing engaging exposure to the language. Letter names and sounds are presented in an intentional manner which are the prerequisites to reading fluency. Beginning readers are given plenty of sounding out and deciphering tasks that will lead to familiarity with word structures and vocabulary that they are bound to encounter in early reading materials.
Riley was looking for an online class and since these days, kids have more access to educational materials in English, I thought it would be apt to enroll him in Wika'y Saya... The class is not just about reading in Filipino but students also get to process their lessons through various activities and ulimately familiarize themselves with the use of Filipino in their conversations with their classmate and teacher.
