What is Ready To Read?

Ready To Read is a set of guidelines that helps parents and educators to assess children's reading readiness skills. These skills include:

• Print awareness




• Phonics




• Phonemic awareness




• Vocabulary




• Comprehension

Children who are ready to read have a strong foundation in these skills. They can recognize the letters of the alphabet, they can sound out words, and they can understand the meaning of what they read.

The Different Ready To Read Levels

There are five Ready To Read levels:

1. Level 1: Emerging Literacy




2. Level 2: Beginning Reading




3. Level 3: Developing Reading




4. Level 4: Expanding Reading




5. Level 5: Fluent Reading

Level 1 is the most basic level. Children at this level are just beginning to show an interest in reading. They may start to recognize some letters of the alphabet and they may be able to read some simple words.

Level 2 is the next level. Children at this level are starting to read more complex words and sentences. They are also starting to develop an understanding of reading strategies.

Level 3 is the third level. Children at this level are able to read more fluently. They are also able to comprehend more complex texts.

Level 4 is the fourth level. Children at this level are able to read more challenging texts. They are also able to independently use reading strategies.

Level 5 is the final level. Children at this level are able to read fluently and comprehend complex texts. They are also able to independently use reading strategies to improve their comprehension.

How to Assess Your Child's Ready To Read Level

There are a number of ways to assess your child's Ready To Read level. One way is to simply observe your child while they are reading. Another way is to ask your child questions about what they are reading.

Here are some questions you can ask your child to assess their Ready To Read level:

• Can you point to the letters of the alphabet?




• Can you sound out words?




• Can you understand the meaning of what you are reading?




• Can you use reading strategies to help you understand what you are reading?

If your child is able to answer these questions correctly, then they are likely ready to start reading. However, if your child is unable to answer these questions correctly, then they may need some additional support before they are ready to start reading.

What You Can Do to Help Your Child Develop the Skills They Need to Become a Successful Reader

There are a number of things you can do to help your child develop the skills they need to become a successful reader. Here are a few tips:

• Read to your child every day.




• Talk to your child about what you are reading.




• Play games that help to develop reading skills, such as letter matching games and word building games.




• Encourage your child to write and draw.




• Make sure your child has access to a variety of reading materials.

By following these tips, you can help your child to develop the skills they need to become a successful reader.

Ready To Read is a valuable tool that can help parents and educators to assess children's reading readiness skills.
