Reading Readiness Skills Guide

Reading readiness refers to the point at which a child is prepared to start learning to read and includes the transition period from non-reader to reader. It involves cognitive skills like phonological awareness, alphabet knowledge, and vocabulary, as well as psychological and environmental factors. Teachers assess reading readiness through tests, observations of speech development, behavior, and interest in reading to determine if a child is ready to begin formal reading instruction or would benefit from readiness activities first. The specific approach to teaching reading readiness depends on the reading program and may be addressed separately or integrated into reading and writing lessons.
