Reading readiness for kindergarten is all about preparing young learners with the foundational skills they need to start their reading journey. Here are some key areas to focus on:

  • Letter Recognition: Helping children identify and name letters, starting with those in their own name.
  • Letter Sounds: Associating letters with their corresponding sounds to build phonemic awareness.

  • Book Handling Skills: Teaching kids how to hold a book, turn pages, and follow along while reading.

  • Listening and Comprehension: Encouraging children to listen to stories and understand basic narratives.

  • Routine and Independence: Establishing daily reading habits and fostering self-help skills.
