What are pre-reading skills?

Pre-reading skills are foundational abilities that help prepare a child for successful reading instruction. They include skills such as letter awareness, sound and phonological awareness, vocabulary, and language comprehension.

How can I tell if my child is ready to learn to read?

Signs that your child may be developing reading readiness include recognizing some letters, noticing rhymes or sounds in words, understanding spoken language, and showing interest in books and print. This guide helps you identify and strengthen these skills in engaging, age-appropriate ways!

What reading readiness activities does this guide offer?

This guide covers necessary pre-reading or reading readiness activities that strengthen the areas of the brain that support successful reading. The activities in this guide are research-informed and aligned with evidence-based early literacy principles. Activities include language games, letter/sound mapping, and exploring articulatory features of sounds - all designed to be simple to implement and engaging for your kids.

What if my 7-year-old is struggling with letters and sounds?

If your 7-year-old is still struggling with letters, sounds or other foundational skills, this guide can help you identify gaps and provide targeted practice at home. It can be used alongside formal reading instruction to strengthen foundational skills that may not yet be secure.

Is this appropriate for homeschool?

Yes! This guide is perfect for children doing homeschool. This guide can prepare your child before reading instruction begins or provide reading support alongside formal reading instruction! Trackers and rubrics are included if you want to use the activities as a structured part of your homeschool curriculum.

My child is in public school. Are these activities for our family?

Yes! This guide is the perfect at-home supplement to reading instruction happening in the classroom. The simple, practical activities were designed to fit into everyday life for busy families who want extra reading support at home.
