Early reading and writing skills to look for
Make a readiness checklist for the year before school. It lists fifteen early reading and writing skills in five groups: books, sounds, letters, writing and talking. Mark Yes or Not yet for each one today, and look again in a few months. You can add your own lines.
Your worksheet:
The list covers the things that come before reading: liking books, hearing rhymes and sounds, knowing a few letters, holding a pencil, talking in sentences.
Children learn these things at different ages, and no school expects all of them on the first day. The list shows you what to play with next.
This page is for you to read. There is nothing on it for the child to do.
No. They are things to grow toward. Many children learn some of them in the first months of school.
Yes. Type your own lines and they print at the end of the list.
Then you know where to start. Reading aloud and singing rhymes every day help with most of the list. Talk to the teacher if you are worried.
Yes, with no sign-up and no limit.
