Early Concepts About Print (ECAP®)

---

ECAP® offers one-to-one literacy teaching designed to help preschoolers build their first concepts about print.

Sue is a licensed teacher in the school board. As part of her doctorate, she worked on developing a literacy program for preschoolers. ECAP® was designed to introduce preschoolers to early concepts about print and early writing before entering Kindergarten. These concepts include:

• Reading left to right
• Reading top to bottom
• Letters and words convey a message
• Letter formation, discrimination, and perception

Children will engage in one-to-one lessons, 3 to 4 times a week. Lessons are individualized to meet the specific needs of each young child and are delivered by a specially trained teacher.
