Whiz Kids Summer Program 2011

Emma took the Zoo-phonics class last summer when she was four at Whiz Kids in Corona del Mar and in six short weeks she learned sooooo much and had a BLAST while doing it!

I did an entire post on our experience here. In that class she learned every single letter sound and it was truly the foundation for her learning about phonics. Even today she will still associate the sound with the animal she learned in that class. I honestly can’t more highly recommend this program…

Whiz Kids REALLY Does Make Learning Fun!

My 4-year-old daughter Emma is in a Whiz Kids summer Zoo-phonics class in Corona del Mar and when she showed me what she was learning, I was so amazed, I thought I have GOT to do another post on this awesome program! One day at home she started doing the letter sounds and actions and when I saw her galloping around the kitchen island (like a horse!) making a perfect “haa” sound like the letter “H” and being SO excited about it, I thought, WOW, not only was she learning the phonics of the letters, but she was having the BEST time doing it!
