Virtual Learning



Research shows that preschool children who consistently hear stories read aloud to them are better able to conjure mental imagery and develop narrative comprehension. In an effort to take a community approach to ensuring each child is provided meaningful and intentional opportunities to develop early literacy skills, VSH Preschool Staff has recorded audiobooks. These stories can be used at home as part of online learning activities and to generate smiles.
