Pathway to Reading- Level 1: First Steps

Learn letter sounds with level 1! 

Get ready to dive into the world of reading with this playful and engaging curriculum that makes learning letters and sounds a total blast!

Designed for kids ages 4-6, this program is perfect for building early literacy skills through fun games, hands-on activities, and word play. Unlike other programs that assume your child already knows all 26 letter sounds (and maybe even some blending), this curriculum bridges the gap in a gentle, stress-free way that kids will love.

Whether you want to breeze through in 6 weeks or take it slow over an entire school year, there’s plenty of flexibility to fit your child’s pace. Starting with the basics of letters and sounds, your little learner will progress all the way to blending three-letter words, unlocking the magic of reading step by step.

The lessons are super simple to follow—just open and go! Add in a few everyday materials, and you're all set. For an even richer experience, you can pair the curriculum with fine motor activities, poetry, and read-aloud time to create a complete early literacy adventure.
