Every day your child is acquiring skills needed for entry into the world beyond family and home. Arrival at school brings many new experiences, perhaps most importantly, the experience of learning to read. This book provides practice in basic Kindergarten reading skills. Although some activities seem simplistic, their mastery is essential for early readers. In addition, the tasks are designed to strengthen your childs ability to problem-solve, think critically, and become familiar with the academic language commonly used in the school setting.
Upon your childs completion of each activity, use the provided incentive chart and stickers to track progress and celebrate your childs success.

- When reading a book, point word by word at the text as you read. This will help your child learn that reading goes from left to right and understand that the word he or she sees is the word he or she says.
- Read stories with rhyming words and lines that repeat. Invite your child to join in on these parts.
- Read from a variety of childrens books, including fairy tales, song books, poems, and information books.
