The vibe.
These are the core beliefs behind Read by Kindergarten™. If they line up with your heart for your child, you’re in the right place — and we’d be honored to be part of your family’s reading story.
Early reading is a superpower.
Think of it as a power-up. Confidence up, curiosity up, and options up.
Every child can learn to read.
Every child is capable. We adjust the process, not the expectation that they will read.
Parents are the best teachers.
Your love + a step-by-step plan = the strongest reading foundation they’ll ever get.
Imagine this.
You don’t have to teach your child to read, but imagine your 2½–3-year-old proudly reading with you before kindergarten — without pressure or pushing.
Screens don’t teach reading.
If screens alone worked, 65% of kids wouldn’t still be behind by 3rd grade — nothing beats your one-on-one time.
We’re on your team, not on your case.
Your child’s pace, your schedule, your choice — we’re here for every small step, not to judge you for the days that get away.
Reading Adventure Pack™ · Ages about 2 to 5 · 10 minutes a day
Reading is a doorway. We are here to help you open it.
Read by Kindergarten™ gives you a complete, play based reading program and coaching path that takes your child from their first “A says /ă/” to confidently reading real books in short, joyful sessions you can fold into things you are already doing.
- Full Reading Adventure Pack included in the cohort. You get Levels 1 to 4 so you have everything you need from early sounds to vowel teams.
- Ten minute routine for real families. Built for toddlers and preschoolers with short, playful pages and built in movement.
- Two ways to begin. Try the fourteen day Vowel Power Quickstart or step straight into the RBK cohort for live support.
Quickstart is Level 0 of the Reading Adventure Pack™. If you join the cohort after your trial, your 29 dollars is applied as a credit toward your program.
Inside the Reading Adventure Pack™
The Reading Adventure Pack™ is the curriculum you use inside the Read by Kindergarten cohort. It is a 4 to 6 month path from early sound play to real reading. Each level builds on the last, using the same 10 minute routine so nothing feels new or scary for your child or for you. When you join the cohort, you get all of these levels.
Level 0 · Vowel Power Quickstart (14 day trial)
Teach all five vowel sounds A, E, I, O, U in playful 10 minute sessions and see how the routine fits your family. This is your low risk test drive of the full program.
Level 1 · Sounds Made Simple
A complete tour of all 26 letter sounds with clear mouth cues, motions, and silly characters so your child actually remembers what each letter says.
Level 2 · From Sounds to Words
Move from “I know my sounds” to blending simple words. Short, fun pages show your child how sounds slide together into real reading.
Level 3 · Long Vowel Launch (horse or golf)
Take off into long vowels and magic e words with our Long Vowel Launch theme. Choose the horse jumping or golf theme your child loves most. The content is the same; the adventure is up to you.
Level 4 · Vowel Team Power Quest
Canoe through vowel teams and more advanced patterns so your child can tackle longer words and sentences but still in the same 10 minute, play-based format.
How the path unfolds
Most families who use the Reading Adventure Pack consistently finish all four levels in about four to six months. Here is a simple picture of what that can look like.
Step 1. Start around age two
You begin in Level 1, Sounds Made Simple. There are thirty one lessons. At about five lessons a week, most families finish this level in one and a half months and their child knows all 26 sounds.
Step 2. First words appear
In Level 2, From Sounds to Words, your child starts blending sounds into simple words. After Level 1 and the first part of this book, many children begin reading their very first words with you.
Step 3. Choose horse or golf
In Level 3, Long Vowel Launch, you choose the theme your child loves, horse jumping or golf. The content is the same. They learn long vowels and magic e while they play through the story.
Step 4. Ready for kindergarten
Level 4, Vowel Team Power Quest, gives your child practice with vowel teams and more advanced patterns. After this level, many children can read more than four thousand decodable words and feel ready for kindergarten reading.
If you want me in your corner for six weeks and beyond
The Read by Kindergarten™ cohort is for moms who want more than a curriculum. You want a clear plan and a coach walking with you so your child is actually reading simple books, not just collecting worksheets.
What the 6 week coaching (the RBK cohort) gives you
The cohort starts with a six week live coaching intensive. We meet once a week, you send one short video each week, and we walk through the Reading Adventure Pack™ together so you know exactly what to do with your child. After that, you keep going with the program and still have a place to get help when you need it.
- Full Reading Adventure Pack™ included. You get Levels 0 to 4 so you have everything from vowels to vowel teams in one system.
- Six weekly live small group calls. We meet once a week for six weeks so you can get feedback, ask questions, and see how other moms are making it work.
- One video review per week for six weeks. You send one short clip from your reading time each week and I give you specific feedback on what to try next.
- Group support for six months. For six months after you start, you can ask questions inside the group and I reply twice a week so you are not stuck or guessing on your own.
- Read Confidently Guarantee. If you show up for the six live calls and follow the ten minute routine at least four days a week and you still do not see clear progress toward reading simple books, we will talk about how to adjust your plan or what extra support might help.

Questions moms ask
Here are a few of the most common questions moms have before they start. If you are wondering something else, you can always ask inside the Quickstart or on your intro call.
What is RBK?
Read by Kindergarten™ is a play based reading program and coaching path that helps you teach your child to read in short, ten minute sessions. The Reading Adventure Pack is the curriculum. The Quickstart and cohort are the ways I walk with you while you use it at home.
What is a cohort?
A cohort is a small group of families who start together and move through the program at the same time. You get live calls, feedback, and group support instead of trying to figure it out alone. You are not just buying books. You are joining a short, guided season with clear support and check ins.
Is this digital or printed?
The Reading Adventure Pack and the Vowel Power Quickstart are digital. You can print them at home or at a copy shop and keep them in a binder. Many families print the main pages and keep some things on a tablet or laptop.
What age is this for?
The program was designed to start on your child’s second birthday. The process of learning to read is largely the same regardless of age or ability, so older children can still benefit if they are behind or guessing. Some eager beavers have started successfully around eighteen months with very short sessions and lots of play.
How much time does it take each day?
The core routine is ten minutes a day. Most days that ten minutes includes a little time for you to read them a book after the page. When attention starts to slip, you can change the activity or call it a day. Short and consistent is the goal, not long and perfect.
What if my child will not sit still?
Great. RBK intentionally prompts them to move. It is in the science. Movement with new information creates a memory faster. We like to quote Hebb’s law: what fires together wires together. Move and learn. Many pages build in motions and games so your child does not have to sit to make progress.
Do I need to know phonics or how to say all the sounds?
No. We have not found any parents who remember every sound from school correctly. That is normal. We make it easy so you do not have to pretend you know them all. The pages include clear parent prompts and QR codes you can scan so Washi models the sounds for you. You listen together and copy. (No one has to know you do not know them all perfectly.)
How does the Quickstart fit with the full program?
The Vowel Power Quickstart is Level 0 of the Reading Adventure Pack. It is a fourteen day trial that lets you see how the ten minute routine feels in your home and locks in the five vowel sounds. If you love it and join the cohort within thirty days, your twenty nine dollars is applied as a credit to your RBK cohort adventure.
Can I skip the Quickstart and go right to Level 1?
Yes. You will not miss any content if you skip the Quickstart. The Vowel Power Quickstart is a sample of the first five pages of Level 1, Sounds Made Simple. We created it so you can try before you buy and see how the ten minute routine and style feel in your home.
If you already know you want the full Reading Adventure Pack, you can go straight into Level 1 and you will still get those first five pages inside the program. If you are not quite sure yet, or you want to see how your child responds, the Quickstart is a small, low cost way to test it before you commit.

Can I use this with more than one child?
Yes. You can reuse the Reading Adventure Pack™ with younger siblings in your own household. Many families repeat the program with little brothers and sisters once the older child has finished, and they often start earlier the second time around.
What if we fall behind or miss days?
Life happens. If you miss a day or a week, you can pick up where you left off. The cohort and group support exist so you can ask for help when you get off track and get back into a rhythm. This is a no judgement zone, not a place to feel bad about the days that got away.
What this looks like in real families
You are not the first mom to wonder if this kind of routine will work. Here are a few families who used the Read by Kindergarten approach and what they saw once they stuck with the ten minute sessions.
Preschool owner
“We finally have a simple routine that works.”
This preschool uses the Read by Kindergarten routine with their classes so teachers and parents are on the same page.
Three year old finished all four levels in four months
This family started at Level 1 and moved all the way through the Reading Adventure Pack. In just four months their three year old finished all four books. He loved it so much he often asked to do another page and now sits down to read independently with confidence.
Two years four months with strong foundations
At two years four months this child was already tracking print from left to right and reading, not guessing. The goal at this age is not perfection. It is early confidence and a love for reading time with you.
Choose your next step
You do not have to figure this out alone. You can try the routine in a small way or jump in with full support. Either way, I am here to walk with you.
Start small and try it for yourself.
You want to see how the ten minute routine feels in your home and how your child responds. Level 0, the Vowel Power Quickstart, lets you test it for fourteen days for a low cost, with clear pages and QR audio to guide you.
