Best Reading Program for Kindergarteners

Best Reading Program for Kindergarteners

Kindergarten is a magical time for children and their parents alike. Your child is just starting out on his or her learning adventure, and the excitement is palpable. With the COVID-19 pandemic, however, parents are having to make some difficult choices, and many are naturally worried about their children missing out on early reading opportunities. Fortunately, learning to read isn’t a static process in which children must sit in a room and dryly go through traditional practices over and over again. In fact, some of the best reading programs for kindergarteners involve innovative new learning techniques like the ones intertwined throughout the Stepping Stones Together reading program.

Our Interactive and Innovative Reading Program

Gone are the days when you and your child had to sit down together to recite a frustrating list of reading words that never seemed to lead anywhere. Our kindergarten reading program is all about bringing you and your early reader together for a reading journey into a story that’s tuned into your child’s interests and learning level. Reading shouldn’t be frustrating – for you or your child. When your child is engaged, the whole learning to read element becomes organic – rather than something you need to work on specifically. 

From A to Z

The Stepping Stones Together reading program for kindergarten age kids involves a 6-step process that supports the learning process via self-reinforcement. Let’s take a closer look by diving into those six steps, which include:

• You and your child will choose one of the stories from your personalized homepage. We understand that your child’s interest can change from day to day – and even from moment to moment – and this is why we offer options that are preselected based on your child’s interests and learning level.
• You and your child will take a picture walk through your chosen story together.
• You will encourage your child to touch each of the words as he or she reads them (we’re not going for perfection here but are, instead, allowing your child to extemporize while learning to connect the story to physical words on a page).
• You’ll guide your child to let his or her imagination flow by drawing and/or writing responses to the prompts provided.
• You’ll head together to your homepage’s Additional Practice tab for reinforcements that masquerade as enticing games. 

In a mere 15 to 20 minutes a day, you can provide your young learner with one of the best reading programs for kindergartners, and instead of feeling like a chore, it’s more likely to become a daily highlight for both of you.
