Meet Rhonda

“Every child deserves to walk into school confident, prepared, and excited to learn.”

I’m Rhonda — the creator of Read by Kindergarten™. It didn’t start as a company. It started as a promise.

Years ago, as a mom of four, I wasn’t a teacher — just a parent trying to help my kids learn. I made mistakes, tried different methods, and discovered that reading doesn’t have to be stressful — it can be joyful, playful, and deeply effective.

Then came Isaac. On his second birthday, I started teaching him letter sounds using the playful approach I’d developed. Within four months, he was reading. His progress proved what I had learned through years of experience: very young children can learn to read with the right approach.

Later, I worked with Levi — a little boy who was behind on milestones and barely spoke. I wasn’t sure he could learn to read by two and a half, but I made a promise to his mom: “We’ll teach him to read by kindergarten.”

That wasn’t just a name — it was a promise. Within weeks, Levi’s brain “turned on.” He began making sounds, communicating, and reading simple words. No therapy, no pressure — just ten minutes a day of joyful, effort-focused learning.

That driveway moment became the heart of Read by Kindergarten™ — proof, inspiration, and hope built on a method that really works and makes learning fun for both children and parents.

Through the Reading Adventure Pack Series, caregivers discover exactly how to bring that same joy and success into their own homes.

Whether you’re starting at two or closer to five, this program gives you everything you need to teach reading with confidence and connection — step by step.
