Your child does not need to know how to read before starting kindergarten.
By 3rd grade, most "early readers" are reading at the same level as all the others.

Here's the Truth

We teach the important pre-reading skills need to be in place before your child learns to read.
These skills build a strong foundation for learning to read.

When children are developmentally ready to read, view reading and learning positively.
When pushed to read too early , many view reading as a difficult task that should avoided.

Course access/purchase

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 early literacy 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.

Is there a time limit for completion of the course ?
