If so, it\u2019s very possible that your child is ready to begin formal reading instruction. But if you\u2019re not sure whether your child is ready, complete this <a href=\"https:\/\/downloads.allaboutlearningpress.com\/downloads\/Free_Reports\/Reading-Readiness-Checklist.pdf\">checklist to measure your child\u2019s reading readiness<\/a>:<\/p>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/downloads.allaboutlearningpress.com\/downloads\/Free_Reports\/Reading-Readiness-Checklist.pdf\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Download-Reading-Readiness-600x450-1.png\" alt=\"Download graphic for Reading Readiness Checklist - click to download\" width=\"600\" class=\"center\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\n<p>After completing this checklist, you\u2019ll be able to identify the pre-reading skills that your child still needs to work on. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allaboutlearningpress.com\/all-about-reading-pre-reading\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><cite>All About Reading<\/cite> Pre-reading program<\/a> makes it easy to fill in the gaps and get your child ready to read. Is your child already ready to read? If so, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allaboutlearningpress.com\/All-About-Reading-Level-1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><cite>All About Reading<\/cite> Level 1<\/a> is the perfect starting point!<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2>One Final Note<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>I\u2019m a strong believer in letting kids be kids and not pushing academics too early. But I also know from extensive experience that most kids don\u2019t develop reading readiness skills on their own. The <cite>All About Reading<\/cite> Pre-reading program strikes a good balance. In about 15 minutes per day (depending on your child\u2019s attention span and abilities), this easy-to-use curriculum helps children develop all five of the Big Five Skills. The program includes crafts, rhyming and word games, alphabet charts, and lots of playful activities. And if you\u2019ve never met <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allaboutlearningpress.com\/ziggy-zebra-puppet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ziggy<\/a>, you\u2019re in for a treat!<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The majority of a young child\u2019s day should be filled with play, real-life activities, and physical exploration. Add in just a touch of daily intentional instruction in these five reading readiness areas, and your child will have a huge advantage when it comes time to read.<\/p>\r\n<p>Do you have questions about reading readiness?
