Big steps for brand-new readers!
Kindergarten is the year kids become readers. They learn every letter and its sound, then blend sounds into simple words: c-a-t = cat. They read sight words like I, the and look, and track words left to right with a finger. When listening to stories, they name the characters, setting and main events, and retell what happened. They also learn how books work, from the cover to the title. The click moment is when kids read their very first little book all by themselves.
Young readers need songs, stories and lots of short practice. These moves do all three.
Play an animated alphabet song each day and have kids point to each letter as it's sung. Pause and ask for a word that starts with that sound. Songs make letter sounds stick.
Why it works: a catchy, repeating tune gives the brain a hook to hang words on, so sung text is remembered better (Wallace, 1994).
Try it withAlphabet Songs (Animated Video Collection)SongsOpen it →After a read-aloud, think aloud: "Who was in the story? Where did it happen? What happened first?" Then kids draw the characters, setting and events. Modeling builds the habit of retelling.
Why it works: showing first, practicing together, then letting kids try alone is the "gradual release" model teachers have relied on for decades (Pearson and Gallagher, 1983).

Why it works: a big review of study methods ranked quick self-quizzing among the most powerful ways to remember (Dunlosky and colleagues, 2013).

By the end of kindergarten, most kids know all letter sounds, read simple words like cat and dog, know common sight words and read short, simple books.
Practice letter sounds, read aloud every day, and help your child blend sounds into words. Short, fun practice works better than long lessons.
Letter sounds, blending sounds, sight words, and understanding stories are key. Rhyming and hearing sounds in words are also important building blocks.
Ten to fifteen minutes of reading together is a great goal. Add short games and songs throughout the day for extra practice.
