Get Kids Reading Before Kindergarten
Did you ever wish you had a blueprint or guide that could help you teach your child to read? Simple steps you could follow that are proven to work? No more guessing, or trying to figure out what to do?
Hello!
My name is L.T. Lyles, a mom, grandmom, veteran teacher (M.Ed), and former literacy consultant with over 25 years in education. My specialty is teaching kids to read. I taught kindergarten and First Grade for many years.
I created Reading Ready Foundations to help prepare my grandson for school, and to offer help to parents who are looking for support. Jumpstart Kinder offers a method of teaching reading that is effective even for children under the age of five.
For over a year, I have been using and testing our Jumpstart Kinder Curriculum to teach my grandson to read, making modifications where necessary for his age category. At 2 ½ years old this is what he has learned:
- He has learned the letters and sounds of the alphabet
- He has developed exceptional oral language and comprehension skills
- He can write his letters from A-Z
- He is blending letter sounds to read words
- He is reading sight words and decodable readers
- And so much more…..
I have been an educator for years, believe me when I tell you that often, there are gaps in reading or kids struggle with reading, not because they are not trying, but because they haven’t been taught correctly…
Phonics and phonemic awareness must be included in the curriculum, and taught explicitly in a sequential, logical order. Many times, this is what’s missing in our schools.
Parents, there is an approach to teaching kids to read that’s effective. Allow me to share the method I’ve used with my students and grandson with you. I’ve used it to teach hundreds of kids to read. It works!
