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 pressure — just ten minutes a day of joyful, effort-focused learning.

That moment became the heart of Read by Kindergarten™ — a method that works and makes learning fun for both children and caregivers.

Whether you’re starting at two or closer to five, this program gives you a clear path — step by step.
