Our Kindergartens are VERY strict and demanding( due to administration) They have a 90 minute uninterrupted reading block daily. They have to know( or teachers wish they would know) letters and sounds BEFORE they get into kdg. So we are forced to teach these things. I believe they should be exposed to all forms of literacy in Prek. It does help develop their reading skills. We don't force them to learn them. We don't drill, use work sheets etc. I know it is your class but I don't think they need work sheets. Can you make those worksheet activities in to hands on games for them to play?
