MEET RHONDA FARMER
I created RBK so you do not have to figure this out alone.
I am a mother of four, a grandmother, and the founder of Read by Kindergarten. I have spent years beside young children and the adults who love them. I know how much it matters to have a clear next step - and someone you trust when you are not sure what to do next.

THE EXPERIENCE BEHIND THE GUIDANCE
Raising children taught me love. Repeating the early years taught me what to notice.
I raised four children, then spent 15 years as a nanny. That gave me something I could not have learned from one child alone: repetition.
I watched what happened when an adult slowed down, paid attention, and gave a child one small piece they could actually work with. I watched children stay with something longer when it felt playful. I watched a connected success make them want to try again.
Those moments are not small. They are how a child begins to learn what learning feels like.
WHY THIS IS PERSONAL TO ME
I know what it feels like to be capable - and still need the right support.
I entered kindergarten deaf. I was capable, but learning could be harder when I did not have the information or support I needed to make sense of what was in front of me.
That experience stayed with me. Every child will meet something that feels hard. The question is not whether a child needs every answer handed to them. The question is whether they are given enough help to make the next connection themselves.
Children do not need someone to do the learning for them.
They need the right amount of information, support, and room to make a connection for themselves.
WHY PARENTS COME TO RBK
A curriculum can give you activities. A guide helps you know what to do with the child in front of you.
Reading programs are not all the same. RBK gives you a connected path, current teaching tools, and personal feedback so you are not left wondering whether you are doing it right.
A connected path
Each step has a purpose. You are not collecting random activities and trying to decide what comes first.
Current teaching tools
You have practical help with the sounds, the language to use, and the next thing to show your child.
A real person in your corner
When you need feedback, you can get it. Your child is not a worksheet or a computer program, and your guidance should not be either.
THE DIFFERENCE IS WHAT THE WIN BUILDS
A win feels good. Connected wins become a skill.
A child can complete an activity and feel proud. That win matters.
RBK is designed so the win does not stand alone. Today’s sound connects to a letter. That letter joins another. Those sounds blend into a word. Each success prepares the child for the next one.
The outcome is not a pile of finished activities. It is a child who can use what they have learned to read.
“I can figure this out.”
Confidence is not something we hand a child after a win. It grows inside them as they use one success to reach the next.
That is the difference between keeping a child busy and building a reader: the wins connect, and the connection becomes a skill.
