Letters, numbers and a whole lot of wonder
Kindergarten builds the foundation for everything that follows. Kids learn every letter name and sound, hear rhymes and syllables, and blend sounds into short words like m-o-p → mop. They read their first sight words, retell stories and start writing labels and simple sentences. In math they count to 100 by ones and tens, count groups of objects, write numbers to 20, see that 14 is 10 + 4, add and subtract within 10, and name flat and solid shapes. Science and social studies bring weather, pushes and pulls, plants and animals, families and community helpers. The click is when a kindergartner sounds out a word on a sign and reads it all by themselves.
Kindergartners learn by singing, moving and doing. These moves hit all three.
Start the day with an alphabet song and end it with a counting song. Songs give kids letter names, sounds and number order without any pressure. You'll hear them singing in the hallway, and that's the point.
Why it works: a catchy, repeating tune gives the brain a hook to hang words on, so sung text is remembered better (Wallace, 1994).

Most kindergartners know all letter names and sounds, read simple words and some sight words, write their name and simple sentences, count to 100, and add and subtract within 10. Every child grows at their own pace.
Read together every day, sing the alphabet, count things around the house and practice writing their name. Building independence, like zipping a coat and opening a lunch box, helps too.
Many programs aim for roughly 25 to 50 sight words by the end of kindergarten. Practicing a few at a time and reading them in books works best.
Kindergarten mixes play with real learning. Centers, songs and games are how young kids build reading, writing and math skills.
