What is the GSCA Reading Program?

ABCs with Ace and Christi

Our Reading Program is one of the hallmarks of Good Shepherd Christian Academy and provides a strong foundation that helps students become confident, capable readers.

This well-organized 12 to 15-week program is designed for children ages five (who test ready to read) through nine years old. It is ideal for students who have never attended school, do not yet know how to read, or would benefit from additional support to build confidence and develop a love and joy for reading. The lively and entertaining phonics-based program features animal characters, songs, poems, displays, and character-building activities.

• This program is an exciting, multi-sensory, phonetic reading program designed to prepare a child for reading.

• Students will learn letter sounds, alphabet sequence, and word relationships.

• Students are helped in his or her physical and character development.

• 100% of the students who have completed this program have successfully learned to read!

The program runs Monday - Friday from 8:45 a.m.-12 p.m. They have classroom time, and break time where they are able to play with the older students in our large gym or on our outdoor playground.

During classroom time they learn letters, the phonetics of those letters, the animals that are associated with those letters, as well as songs and a Bible lesson.

We offer half day or full day options. The half day option gives parents the opportunity to continue to homeschool and stay involved with the child’s learning.

Total cost of the half day program is $900
