The Reading Ready Caregiver Guide and Activities

The Reading Ready Caregiver Guide was authored by Dr. Katie Pace Miles, founder of The Reading Institute. The goal of the Caregiver Guide is to provide families with skills, language, and activities to support their child in learning to read confidently. It contains 10 units in which caregivers introduce and practice new letters, sounds, and spelling patterns to their beginning readers. Children must develop strong word-reading habits from the start by anchoring themselves to letter-sound relationships. This guide focuses on the sounds that letters make and how they blend together to make words.
