BERLIN, Md. - Worcester Preparatory School pre-kindergarten students marked a milestone in early literacy Friday, June 5, with the ceremonial wedding of Q and U.
The wedding of Q and U is an interactive grammar lesson that teaches young students how the letters often work together in words such as quilt, quarrel and quack. The lesson also teaches that U can stand independently in words such as umbrella and unity.
The event featured students from Mrs. Kim Zaccagnini and Mrs. Courtney DeVito’s pre-K classes. (WPS Head of School Dr. Betsy Hornung reads the vowels during the wedding of Q and U.
