Your friend "humble brags" about her four-year old son's ability to read.

Like any friend, you smile and congratulate her.

Everyone is impressed.

Everyone (it seems) recounts a story or two about their own child reading or almost reading.

You know that this isn't necessarily the truth, but you still panic.

What if I told you that there's no need for you to worry or panic?

Here's the Truth

  • Your child does not need to know how to read before starting kindergarten.

  • When pushed to learn to read too early, many children view reading as a difficult task or chore that should avoided at all costs.

  • There are a few specific early-literacy skills that need to be in place before considering the idea of teaching your child to read.

My name is Michelle Robinette. I have 28 years of experience in the elementary classroom and a PhD in reading, writing, and digital literacy.

I've created a comprehensive, research-based program designed to help you get your child excited about reading and ready for kindergarten.

It's easy to implement, requires little to no prep, and centers around reading stores together. I'm just going to show you how much learning you can sneak in with each story you read together.

I'm giving you a peak into my teacher toolkit, and I want you to promise that you'll put my tools to work!

The Takeaway for Parents & Caregivers

Don't succumb to any outside pressure to teach your preschooler how to read. That's not your job. You are a parent or caregiver and that's what your child needs right now.

When children are developmentally ready, they learn faster, understand more, retain more and view reading and learning positively.

Until that time comes, enjoy these precious years at home and consider trying a few of our low-pressure, memory-making, bond-deepening, fun activities in preparation for learning to read.

Early-literacy skills work to build a strong foundation for learning and that's what this course is all about!

"Word Callers" ARE NOT True Readers

"Word Callers" are children that memorize or decode and identify words without actually comprehending what they read. They're too busy decoding or don't know the meaning of the words they've memorized to remember or understand what they read. Often, word callers simply memorize favorite stories and appear to read. Upon closer inspection the child may not know the words in isolation or when used in different context.

To prevent word calling, parents need teach and practice also early-literacy, pre-reading skills in this list.

Without incorporating these skills, reading is simply "word calling".

Word callers appear to be readers, but often get left behind and struggle when the true readers emerge within a classroom.

FAQs

Do I need to purchase specific children's books for the course?

While Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak is used as a reference within several of the modules, what’s being taught throughout the course can be applied to just about any favorite children's story.

Will this course explain how I can teach my child to read?

NO this is not a course on "How to Teach a Child to Read before Starting Kindergarten".


It's actually the polar opposite. Early childhood is a precious yet fleeting period. The preschool years should be a relaxed, fun, and most importantly stress-free time of slowing down, snuggling in, and reading great stories that encourage curiosity, arouse a sense of wonder, and inspire creativity.

There are many important skills that need to be in place before beginning to teach a child to read. Strength in these skill areas will give your child a true advantage, a solid foundation when the time to learn how to read comes along. This course is about building those skills.

There are many courses and books designed to help preschoolers learn to read, but you should think long and hard before deciding to go in that direction.

What equipment or additional materials are needed?

  • A child between the ages of 2 and 6

  • A parent or caregiver

  • A few favorite stories

  • Course access/purchase

Taking this course changed our home life. I'm not kidding, the anxiety surrounding me trying to teach our son how to read was causing big problems. The pushback was real. He wasn't ready. Taking this course and purchasing additional ReaditAgain Resource Guides has allowed me to take a deep breath and enjoy my child.
