As a kindergartener, reading is a skill that is important to pick on early on, especially since it is key to your child’s academic future. As parents, we encourage you to play with letters, words, and sounds! Having fun with language helps your child learn to crack the code of reading. At Ekya, we have compiled ten reading tips for kindergarteners that offer some fun ways you can help your child become a happy and confident reader.
Parents, we recommend you to try a new reading tip each week and see what works best for your child.
