Get Reading Ready Kit

The Get Reading Ready Kit is a dynamic collection of hands-on resources designed to build foundational pre-reading skills essential for future reading success. Through fun, interactive activities, children develop phonemic awareness, sound discrimination, and early phonics understanding in an engaging and play-based format. This versatile kit includes phonemic awareness cards, beginning sounds dominoes, a CVC blender, phonics bean bags, and sound phones for speaking and listening practice. These resources work together to reinforce oral language skills and sound-letter correspondence, all of which must be in place before formal reading instruction begins. Ideal for use in early childhood settings or Foundation classrooms, this kit prepares children to decode independently and read with confidence.
