Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my child is ready for Play into Kindergarten Readiness?

Generally, children are ready to begin Play into Kindergarten Readiness when they are two or three years old. A few signs to look for to know whether your child is ready: your child can focus and concentrate on an interesting activity for 5 minutes, your child is able to answer simple questions (e.g. "What colour do you like best?" or "Would you like to wear your striped t-shirt or your polka dot t-shirt today?"), and your child enjoys playing!

What is phonological awareness?

You will learn all about phonological skills in Play into Kindergarten Readiness! Phonological skills actually have nothing to do with the letters in the alphabet, but they are essential for building a strong foundation for reading. Phonological awareness focuses on auditory skills, hearing the relationship between words—the rhymes, the sounds, the syllables, etc.

Did you know that a child’s ability to rhyme in Kindergarten is a direct predictor of his or her reading success in grade one? It’s true! Rhyming is the first of seven phonological skills that your little one will master with Play into Kindergarten Readiness.

Can I move through this program faster so my child will be done by a certain date?

Yes! To move through Play into Kindergarten Readiness faster, you could complete two activities each Friday, or even two activities a day to complete the program in half the time.

My son, 5, will start kindergarten in the fall but is already reading small books and able to write (phonetically) messages back and forth with me. He still maintains his curiosity for the world and enjoys exploring math and science in a fun way, as well as simply enjoying the wonder of the world around us. I directly credit your materials for this, as well as helping me learn how to better parent and teach with a more broad-minded perspective over simple rote memorization. So thank you, and I hope you continue empowering others like you did for me!

It's been a few months since I ordered Play into Kindergarten Readiness and my son has improved drastically! His confidence is back, when we take walks he automatically looks for shapes and numbers, setting the table is his favorite and his scissor skills are unbelievable lol. I am so thankful for your courses, the idea that I have a plan for him everyday is just comforting. I will start Kindergarten at Home in a few months when he has mastered Play into Kindergarten Readiness. I am just thrilled that he is motivated again to learn, even though he doesn't know he is learning, it's brilliant!
