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.

Founder Cohort · Starts Jan 12 · Limited to 14 families

An 8-week guided coaching cohort so your child starts reading with confidence — calmly.

This is not a worksheet pack. It’s a guided outcome: a clear 10-minute routine, weekly coaching, and real feedback so you know exactly what to do next — without guessing.

Weeks 1–6: build the routine + sounds & blending structure (CV → CVC as your child is ready).
Weeks 7–8: consolidation + troubleshooting + confidence ramp.
Weekly live parent coaching: one group call per week (60–75 min).
Office hours: email support on Tuesdays & Thursdays (responses within 24 hours on those days).
Video review: 1 short video/week (max 3 minutes) with feedback returned within 48 hours.
After Week 8: 30-day Landing Support (email-only) to keep momentum and prevent stalling.
Founder price (Jan 12 cohort): $1,200. Next cohort planned: $2,400.

How the 8 weeks work

You’ll follow a simple daily plan (about 10 minutes). I coach the parent weekly, review your routine by video, and adjust your path so you keep making progress without pressure.

Weeks 1–6 (Core Build) Establish the routine, build sound-to-symbol clarity, and start blending with confidence. You’ll always know the “stop point” so you don’t push past readiness.

Weeks 7–8 (Confidence Ramp) Troubleshoot sticking points, tighten consistency, and build a calm, expected reading habit that continues after the cohort ends.

Support cadence: Weekly group call + Tues/Thurs email office hours + 1 video review/week.

After Week 8: support continues (with clear boundaries)

You receive 30-day Landing Support after the cohort ends (email-only) so you don’t stall. After that, you can choose continued support in one of two paid ways:

Alumni Support (paid): ongoing light support for families who want continued guidance and accountability.
One-off coaching call (paid): a single tune-up session when you want a reset, new pacing, or troubleshooting.

Important: This program does not include unlimited messaging, texting, DMs, or daily back-and-forth coaching. The structure above is what keeps outcomes strong and the experience calm.

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.

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.

My child already knows the A to Z sounds. Can we skip to Book 2?

If your child truly has solid A to Z sounds, you can move into Level 2, From Sounds to Words. I still strongly recommend going through Level 1, even if you move faster or do more than one page a day. Sounds Made Simple gives your child easy wins, introduces the RBK characters, and sets up the habit that “this ten minute reading time with my caregiver is fun.”

That confidence matters when you hit Level 2, where blending words can feel a little trickier. Children who have already enjoyed Level 1 tend to see Level 2 as the next adventure, not hard work. So even if you go through Level 1 quickly, using it as a launch pad usually sets them up for better success in Book 2.

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 — simple routine that works

A preschool owner shares why RBK works in real classrooms: a clear, repeatable routine that teachers and parents can use the same way. Short. Consistent. Results.

2 years 4 months — finished RBK & reading

He started Read by Kindergarten on his 2nd birthay and finished the full program (only 10 minutes/day) in 4 months (most families finish in 5–7 months). At 2 years 4 months, he’s reading real text aloud — and throughout the program he often asked, “Can we do one more page?”

3 years 4 months — reading a Level 2.6 book

After completing RBK at 2 years 4 months, they kept the 10-minutes-a-day routine and occasionally revisited RBK for review. Here he reads The Puppy Place (Reading Level 2.6 / Lexile 690L) — and you can hear him self-correct, which is a strong-reader skill.
