From our teachers' playbook

Words, rhymes, and lots of talking

What do kindergarteners learn in English?

Kindergarten English is about building a big, happy word world. Kids learn new words every day and sort them into groups, like apple, banana, grape → fruit. They hear and make rhymes, name colors and family members, and start reading the first sight words like I, can and look. They also learn to take turns talking, ask questions and tell a story in order. By the end of the year, many kindergarteners can write a simple sentence with a capital letter and a period. The magic moment is when a child reads their first little book all by themselves!

Our favorite ways to teach kindergarten English

Five-year-olds learn by moving, singing and talking. These moves use all three.

Sing the sight words

Play a short sight word song every morning and let kids clap and point when they hear the word. A song like "Look" gives kids dozens of repetitions in two minutes without a single worksheet. Then hold up the word card and see who can read it.

Why it works: a catchy, repeating tune gives the brain a hook to hang words on, so sung text is remembered better (Wallace, 1994).

Sort it into groups

Dump a basket of toys and pictures on the rug and ask, "Which ones go together?" Kids sort animals, foods and clothing and then tell you why. Naming the group is how vocabulary grows from single words into big ideas.

Why it works: going from real objects to pictures to symbols is a core recommendation of the U.S. Department of Education's elementary math guide.

Rhyme time match-up

Hand each child a picture card and have them find the friend whose picture rhymes: cat finds hat! Kids say both words out loud. Hearing rhymes is one of the best early signs a child is ready to read.

Why it works: in a well-known study, a few short sessions of a simple number board game measurably boosted young children's number skills (Ramani and Siegler, 2008).

Questions parents and teachers ask about kindergarten English

What English skills does a kindergartener learn?

Kindergarteners learn letter names and sounds, rhyming, new vocabulary, sight words and how to speak and listen in a group. They also start writing simple words and sentences.

How many sight words should a kindergartener know?

It varies by school, but many kindergarteners learn somewhere around 25 to 50 sight words by the end of the year. Words like I, a, the, can, see and look usually come first.

How can I build my kindergartener's vocabulary?

Talk, read and sing together every day. Name things around the house, ask "What else is like this?" and use new words in conversation. Kids learn the most words from real chats with grown-ups.

Is rhyming important in kindergarten?

Yes! Rhyming shows kids can hear the sounds inside words, which is a key step toward reading. Silly rhyming games and songs are some of the best kindergarten practice.
