Kinder Reading: 5 Tips to Help You Do it Right

Kinder reading has become a critical process in a child's education. Kindergarten used to be reserved for playtime, naps, and learning to share. (Remember those days?) Educators have since learned that kindergarteners are open to learning some pretty important reading skills, even at this early age.

And why not? Kids love learning to read, as long as concepts are introduced in an age-appropriate way. At this tender age, children can tolerate small doses of basic reading skills, as long as they're presented in a consistent way and lessons are kept short. 

What's exciting about short, easy lessons is that reading is also easy for you to teach, even if you've never done it before. With simple guidance from our easy-to-use program, you will have the just the right kinder reading tool you need to teach your child to read,

5 Tips for Getting Kinder Reading Right

1) How Early Can You Start?
Your child is unlike any other. As a parent, you're the best person to decide when to start teaching your child to read. Is your child able to sit still and focus for 3-4 minutes? Are there any developmental or language delays? If you have a 3-year-old who is curious about everything, go for it! But don't let your enthusiasm create pressure on your child's willingness to learn. 

2) How Long Will It Take?
If your child is 3 or 4, he or she will typically take longer than an older child who is already in kindergarten or 1st grade. The key is, let your child set the pace! It may takes weeks—or months—for your child to grasp some of the concepts, and that's okay. If your child has any familiarity with phonics before starting school, he or she will already be well-situated to learn.

3) How Long Should the Lessons Be?
NO MORE THAN 5 MINUTES. We can't emphasize this enough! The beauty of phonics is that it segments nicely into short micro-lessons. The best kinder reading tools are designed for a young child's naturally short attention span. Besides, you're busy, right? Consistency is key, and by keeping lessons short, you'll be able to commit to a daily practice.

4) How Do I Measure Progress?
Please don't test your kindergartener! Learning to read unfolds more naturally when you focus on process, not progress. It's critical you let your child set the pace for learning, even if you need to take extended breaks for a while. There's no hurry. Once your child learns to read (even a few words), reading is the reward. Before you know it, you'll find your child reading words on signs, menus, and in the grocery store—everywhere!

5) Do I Have Bragging Rights?
If at all possible, avoid showing-off your child's new skills to friends, aunts and uncles, and grandparents. It's tempting, we know! But please let your child's learning be something special between the two of you. Reading is personal. Think of all the things you've read that have moved you to tears or brought you great joy. Please give your child the space to explore the adventure of reading without having to perform for anybody else.
