The school year is about to begin (if you haven’t already begun). This year, I want you to start off well SO…I am hosting a Reading the Alphabet Bundle Pack Giveaway. THREE WINNERS will win an entire year’s worth of activities {31 weeks total} from my preschool curriculum, Reading the Alphabet.
- You can read more about the FREE version of Reading the Alphabet HERE.
- The Bundle Pack has several printables and activities you won’t find anywhere else. You can read about those HERE.
Is Your Child Ready for Reading the Alphabet?
I am a firm believer than reading is developmental. So Reading the Alphabet is not for every preschooler. You will know your child is ready for it if she knows her letters and most letter sounds. If you’re not sure what your child knows, I demonstrate how to assess your child with a puzzle in this post. Reading the Alphabet reviews letters and letter sounds, while teaching the child beginning sight words (at a slow pace), rhyming words, syllable counting, and more. If your child has used any of my Pre-K/K packs with success, she is probably ready for Reading the Alphabet.
What if my Child Doesn’t Know Letter Sounds?
If your child does not know many of her letter sounds, you can totally adapt Reading the Alphabet. Each week has several activities that can be used to teach your child her letter sounds (such as the Letter Picture Cards, Cut and Paste Pattern Cards, and 20-Grids). You can also use the rhyming activities and syllable activities. And if you don’t use all the pieces, you can save the other activities for when she is ready!
If you’d like the Letter Picture Cards as one download, which I think is quite handy when teaching letters and their sounds, I have compiled them all for you! Just subscribe to my Weekly Newsletter and you will receive this Letter Pack AND other past subscriber freebies.
If you still have questions about teaching letters and letter sounds, you can read more about it in my recent 4-day series on Teaching the Alphabet.

I like how it enables the letter of week approach and still encompasses teaching the child to read. Seems like I could easily incorporate this in to my existing curriculum
EVERYTHING
I love that you have everything so organized. I have always wanted to help teach my kids to read but have never known where to start. Love the giveaway!
I love the letter of the week curriculum.
My son just turned three last week. He already knows his letters and about 75% of his sounds. I love that it will challenge him with his reading, but isn’t heavy on writing. His fine motor skills are not matching up with his reading skills yet.
This bundle would be perfect for my son! I really like that it incorporates rhyming, sight words, sounding out CVC words as well as some fine motor skills. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
It all looks great! Don’t know where to start
This looks so great in every way!!
It’s great! I love it all!!!
I found your website by searching for books on spelling strategies on Amazon and then reading the sample of Teaching Kids to Spell. I have 4 kids who have homeschooled from the beginning and the two oldest (11 and 9) have struggled to read and spell. Reading is finally getting easier but they are both spelling on a 1st grade level. I have spent the summer researching spelling strategies and have many new things to try with them and I am looking forward to reading your book as well as How To Choose “Just Right” Books. Thanks for the resources!
My youngest is almost 2 and I am looking forward to pre-school work with her. She already loves singing the alphabet. Thanks for the chance!
Excited!
Love this!
Planning on using this for my littlest ones…would love to win it in a download!!
This would be so wonderful to have close at hand for my Title reading kiddos!
I didn’t know you had a webpage! I used your curr with my now K when she was in PK but didn’t get all of the letter so I had to come up with my own- which she didn’t like as well. Now that I am ready to begin my 3rd with PK I am glad to find your webpage!!
I’d love to win this pack. This year I’ll be teaching kindergarten and many of the students have not been to school before so this will be a great resource.
I’ve used some of your printables with my older kids and love the organization and activities in Reading the Alphabet.
it does all the planning for you!
I am looking for anything to get my kinder excited about learning, so reading the alphabet would be great!
My son will be starting Kinder in January and I’m keen for him to have a grasp of the basics before he starts. This looks like a great way to teach the alphabet in a fun and entertaining way!
Great curriculum!
Everything!!!
I like that your curriculum not only incorporates blending and reading, but also book handling and concepts about print. I also like the fine motor activities and handwriting practice. Littles need lots of opportunities to practice those skills.
I appreciate any teacher or mom who shares great ideas. Thank you! – fellow mom & literacy tutor
This is amazing!! I have two little boys who this would work for 3 and on Friday a 2 yr old!
Love you printable and fun ways to teach, makes learning so fun!!!
I love that it’s a great foundational curriculum that I can supplement with or add-on to.
I have been planning on using your resources the next year with my son…I love all the fun activities for each letter and you give such helpful advice and tips. Thanks for all your hard work!
Love the adaptability in relation to the child’s skills. Thanks for the giveaway!
I love that it will teach my daughter how to read while reinforcing her knowledge of the alphabet 🙂
I was up late last night looking and planning where to start. I am really excited to work with my three year old. I have a 14 year old that I started something similar when he was her age and he is in advanced classes and made a 1530 on the SAT at 12 through a program with Duke University.
We could use the CVC help and extra practice with letter sounds, too. It all looks nicely organized!
Love these resources you provide.
I love how organized it is and the many different approaches to teaching that you use!
Your resources have been so helpful in my classroom and I know this one will just as helpful as the rest. This will be used as an additiona RtI resource.
I love the many ways that these lesson plans involve learning. Very hands on!
I love all the corresponding hands-on activities!
I love the letter of the week and the hands on activities.
I love the whole program! 🙂
I like the way its organized and teaches about print awarness along with word family and sight words
This would be great for my kids! Would love to win it!
Lessons play are great
To me what’s best about this packet is that it’s laid out in a way that isn’t overwhelming. It is really perfect for kids who have mastered their alphabet sounds.The activities and exercises included are challenging yet gentle. Thank you for all the hard work you put into it.
I would love to win this as I begin the journey of starting to teach my son more formally this year. Thanks for making this available to us.
I feel like it teaches reading naturally and is easily encompassed in to other curriculum I am using.
I have a child who is struggling to learn how to ready and I feel like this method really could help him get some literacy concepts that he is having a hard time with.
Can’t wait to use this with my grandchildren!
I have a four year old who is so excited about reading, but is struggling just a bit. Can’t wait to try your curriculum!
I love the layout of the curriculum and I can’t wait to see the improvements in my enthusiastic 4 year old through your program.
I think it would be easy to use for my son who is learning to read as well as adapt it for my daughter to teach her the alphabet.
I like that it includes age appropriate prion tables for my 3 yr old that can be adapted to her skill level
It follows a letter a week similar to the program used in my classroom.
