FAQs
What is included in Kindergarten Ready?
1
You’ll get 20 short video lessons (10–15 minutes each) that walk your child through core reading skills like letter sounds, blending, rhyming, syllables, sight words, and simple early words.
Each lesson includes hands-on activities so your child is actively learning — not just watching.
It’s a clear, step-by-step path from total beginner to kindergarten ready.
Is this only for kids who are “behind”?

Not at all! Whether your child is just getting started, needs to catch up, or you simply want to make sure they’re truly prepared — this course gives you everything you need in one place.
What do I get access to as the parent?

You’ll have access to a parent video library so you actually understand what your child is learning and how to reinforce it at home.
You’ll also get activity ideas, curated book lists, and printable resources — so you’re never left wondering what to do next.
Most importantly, you’ll gain the confidence to know you’re teaching reading the right way.
How long do we have access?
