What is the KITS Program?

The KITS Program is a school readiness intervention developed at the Oregon Social Learning Center (OSLC). The program is designed to provide a boost to children’s literacy, self-regulation, and social skills just prior to kindergarten entry via a two-pronged program:

• 24 session school readiness group curriculum for children featuring a concentration on:
• early literacy skills (e.g., letter names and sounds, concepts about print)
• self-regulation (e.g., teacher preferred skills such as sitting still and raising hands)
• social skills (e.g., cooperation, sharing, recognizing others’ emotions)

 

The school readiness groups are structured like a kindergarten class. Children attend 3 sessions a week.

• An 8 session workshop for parents focusing on such topics as:
• ways to increase early literacy skills at home
• preparing children for the transition to school by establishing routines
• how to initiate home-school communication and school involvement
• how to encourage children’s positive behaviors at home and school

 

Parents attend workshops weekly in the summer.
