The Kindergarten with Ace and Christi program is a full-year kindergarten program featuring a complete scope and sequence of concepts and skills needed to prepare K3-K5 children to read. After having taken the ABCs with Ace and Christi Reading Readiness Test and the Coordination Development Tests, five-year-old children who are entering kindergarten, and any children who are diagnosed "NOT ready to read," should be enrolled in the Kindergarten program for a full year.
Sixty PACEs (2,000 pages) filled with Bible and animal pictures, coordination development activities, and full-color picture stories encourage a love for reading. A child learns the phonetic sounds for all letters so that when he is ready to learn to read, he will do so. He will also learn social skills, the wonders of God's world, and the reality of God's love.

ABCs with Ace and Christi
Accelerated Christian Education's learning-to-read program is called ABCs with Ace and Christi. This is a multisensory, phonetic program, designed to prepare a child for the individualized instruction of the A.C.E. program. This learning-to-read program should be attempted only after a child has been diagnosed "ready to read" using the Ace and Christi Reading Readiness Test. Within a period of 12 to 15 weeks, he will become acquainted with phonics through animals, songs, and stories. These features will help him learn and associate letter sounds, alphabet sequence, and word relationships. Additional activities have also been designed to help the student in his physical and character development.
The ABCs with Ace and Christi utilizes a number of outstanding reading tools, such as a specially developed alphabet sequence, songs for each of the sounds, poems, displays, and physical activities. Additionally, character development activities and Bible stories are built in. The program is designed to be used in conjunction with Word Building PACEs 1001-1012, Math PACEs 1001-1003, Animal Science PACEs 1001-1012, and Bible Reading PACEs 1001-1012.
