Your child understands word boundaries. If you say the sentence Don’t let the cat

Your child can blend sounds to make a word. If you say the sounds sh…eep, your
child responds with the word sheep.
Your child can identify the beginning sound in a word. If you ask your child to
say the first sound in pig, your child is able to respond with the sound /p/.
Your child can identify the ending sound in a word. If you ask your child to say
the last sound in the word jam, your child is able to respond with the sound /m/.

Your student should display motivation to read.

Use your intuition to understand if your child is motivated to begin reading. The following
are all signs that your child is motivated to read and has achieved the understanding that
reading is fun.

Does your child enjoy being read to, at least for short periods of time?
Does your child pretend to read or write?
Does your child frequently request read-aloud time and show a general
enthusiasm for books?

How did your student do?


• If all or most of the boxes are checked, then your child is ready for a reading program
such as All About Reading Level 1!
• If there are some missing checkmarks, then you’ve identified the areas that you should
work on with your child.
• It is surprisingly easy to fill in these gaps in an engaging way with the All About Reading
Pre-reading program.
