I’m so thrilled to share that Reading the Alphabet has been updated and expanded!

What is Reading the Alphabet? It’s a hands-on way to get your child reading. Does your child know most of her letters and letter sounds? Maybe she’s too young for Kindergarten curriculum just yet. Does your child have special needs and a reading curriculum that moves at a deeper and slower pace would fit him/her? Reading the Alphabet is built on my experience with teaching emergent and struggling readers as well as my studies of what young readers need to be successful readers.
Reading the Alphabet Targets these Reading Skills:
- recognizing and making rhymes
- counting and blending syllables
- phonics and reinforcing letter sounds, applied to reading
- beginning sight words (26 beginning sight words are introduced, one with each letter)
- print awareness
- matching voice to print
- reading and sounding out early CVC words such as mat, hot, or bug
- fine motor skills, such as lacing, tracing, and cutting
- beginning handwriting for upper and lower case letters
Reading the Alphabet also contains math activities that correlate with each letter of the alphabet, including
- one-to-one correspondence
- number recognition 1-20
- making patterns
- beginning addition
Don’t worry. The free version of Reading the Alphabet isn’t going anywhere. But in this bundled pack, you’ll find these extra goodies:
1-page readers
lacing cards
handwriting pages (that reinforce letter sounds, too!)
a DIFFERENT sight word song for each word!
extra dice games for beginning learners
printable sight word cards
AND MUCH MORE!

Is there any option for those who already bought this to purchase the updated version at a discount? Thank you!
If the original reading the alphabet curriculm was purchased, do we still need to buy the new one, or are there updates? Btw Iove your blog and printables!
I have the same question!
What age is this recommended for? My daughter is five and this might be a bit trivial.
I don’t have an age recommendation. Rather, I look at what the child understands about how words work. I have more description about the curriculum here–> https://thisreadingmama.com/free-reading-curriculum/reading-the-alphabet-prek-curriculum/. It may help to read that. If your daughter is past these skills, then it would be too easy for her. 🙂
Is this an e-book? can I get this in my mail?
Ana, it is only in PDF format.
My twins are 2 1/2, what else is recommended other than reading to them? I have purchased alphabet posters (I have one in the living room and the other in their bedroom),..Will this book be helpful for their age even?
I pin everything I would recommend. I love HANDS-ON activities that get kids moving and interacting with the alphabet. You can find all my ideas here–> http://www.pinterest.com/thisreadingmama/abc-goodies/
I just purchased the $10 bundle, but before I could get it all downloaded ( preschooler needing attention) it disappeared. How do I get access back to complete my curriculum?
I’m emailing you right now. 🙂
I know I am missing something but on several of you offers it says freebie or free yet when I try to download it, it says it costs $3.99 or the $10 bundle. I do plan on purchasing the bundle closer to the end of August but I wanted to try some out first. I am sorry I am trying to navigate your website and got excited so I know I am missing something.
nevermind previous question I just needed to be patient 🙂
Thank you, exactly what my 5 yr old twins need. God bless your ministry here.:-)
If I purchase the $10 bundle pack, do I still need to download the original free version, or is it included with the bundle pack?
It’s in the bundle…and there’s extra stuff, too!
Is the lesson plan or day to day information in the Bundle? Or is there one?
Each week, there are more like lesson outlines for each week {similar to the free version}. The more detailed descriptions of each activity are found in the first part of the download. Each week features those activities in the lesson outlines.
I just saw this. Is there a way to get the expansions without repurchasing or at a different price? I bought the original last spring.
I have the same question as many people about the expanded version. I bought the $10 bundle last year and used it with my son, and it was great, but now I am using it with my daughter and want to figure out how I can get the new expanded stuff, or if I just need to buy the whole thing from scratch again. I love it by the way, so do my children, and it has worked great for them!
I just find out about this curriculum and I am excited to get it for my toddler. I just want to ask though is the old version similar to the new and expanded version? How much is the new version. Hoping to hear from you. Thanks
I just purchased the updated Reading the Alphabet curriculum, but where do you download it? I clicked just about all the “download here” buttons, but all that comes up are zip files, pdf file converters, advertising, how do I get the file? I am not too good at this and my daughter usually helps me, but she’s not here 🙁
I purchased the Reading the Alphabet curriculum in August, but my computer that it was on has died. 🙁 Is there anyway I could get it emailed to me, so I can add it to my new computer? Thanks!
I just purchased the $10 bundle, but before I could get it all downloaded, it disappeared. How do I get access to complete the curriculum?
Were you able to get it worked out? If not, I can email you.
Got it thanks.
Also, I keep seeing $10 and $20 curriculum, is it the same?
Where do you see $20? When I FIRST posted RTA, it was $20 for maybe 2 hours before I realized I should have priced it at $10 and I thought I fixed it.
I’ve just seen it for $20 here and there. If I see it again, I could mail you the page.
Is there a reason you are ignoring all the questions from people that purchased the original curriculum? I see you answer the other questions fairly quickly. How many changes are there from the original and is it possible to get just those at a discount? I enjoyed using your Phonics by the Book with my older son and am looking forward to using this with my younger son soon. I would love the updated version, but can’t really pay the entire cost again. Thanks so much.
Hi Julie. I’m sorry you feel I am ignoring you. A few months back, I carefully went through this thread and sent everyone who had asked a discount code via email. If you are unable to locate that email, I will be happy to send you another one.
Hello. Thank you! We packed up and moved to Costa Rica this summer to study Spanish before going to Guatemala as missionaries and I had to do a mass delete of my email to get caught up. If you would send it again, I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks.
I just purchased the full pack but didn’t get anything to download it. Can you please LMK where to find it. Thanks!

I just bought alphabet learning pack and Reading the Alphabet for $ 20.How do I download the link?
You should have received emails that have the links in them.
Hello, I purchased the previous version last year and would love to buy the updated version. Would I be able to get the discount code for the newer version? Warm regards, Amber
Sure. Let me figure out how to do that in my new store and I’ll get back to you today. 🙂
Hi Becky!
I purchased the “Reading the Alphabet” Bundle during the 4th of July weekend (bad decision on my part). My printer “shut down”, then my husband fixed it, then it ran out of colored ink, and then it ran out of black ink. In other words, I wasn’t able to complete the entire download. A family member has had medical issues with hospitalization, thus the lateness in my comment to you. Would you extend the “download” for me or should I repurchase the Bundle? I’m a very satisfied customer and wouldn’t mind repurchasing, if necessary.
Your programs and printables are AWESOME!!! My GD is loving your program and having fun with it while learning to read. (Her parents are divorcing and it has given us some really good quality time together!)
Also, is there a link telling us how you organized all of the printables in the pack? I need to save these to use with my GS in the future. Did you put all of the songs together in a group or file them with each unit?
Thank you for your time.
P.S. You, “The Measured Mom”, and 1+1+1=1 are my favorite websites and I”m enjoying the quick games that both you and “TMM” are creating!
Can you send me an email and I will re-send it. becky[at]thisreadingmama[dot]com. Thanks!
Thank you so much, Becky.
Hi! First I want to say thank you for all the wonderful work you do and amazing resources you have on this website. It has been such a blessing for my two boys and I!! I purchased this pack on Nov. 30 with your Black Friday coupon. I purchased it from my iPad however didn’t want to download it until I was home and able to save it to my desktop. I tried to do that tonight but it said that the download had expired. I didn’t know there was a time frame the files were available for. How can this be resolved? I would like to get the files I paid for. Thank you so much!!
Hi Bernadette, I sent you an email. 🙂
Hi! Thanks so much for getting back to me! I’m sorry to be a bother, but I checked my email (even the spam) and didn’t see an email from you. Could you try again? Thanks!!
Yes! Got everything and it’s all downloaded! Thanks!! Your the best!! Have a very Merry Christmas!!
Hello,
I purchased the reading packet about a month ago. I didn’t not realize I had to download all the sections at the same time. I only downloaded section 1 last month, I was just trying to download the other sections but I keep getting a “download session expired” message… Do I have to purchase again to get the other sections now?
Thanks ,
Christa
I just sent you an email. SORRY for the delay!
I didnt realize i had to download all the sections at the same time , I only downloaded two and came back to download rest and cant access them now! What can I do ?
Emailing you now. 🙂
is there any coupon for the reading alphabet? im planning to get the bundle but it says $12 and some comments says $10. thank you.
There are no current coupons. I did raise the price by $2 after I updated it, so it’s now $12. If you sign up for newsletter, I do share deals/sales quite frequently there.
Is this bundle available on Teachers Pay Teachers?
Yes–> https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Reading-the-Alphabet-Learn-to-Read-2000038
I purchased some things from the shop, but how do I download or find them?
