FREE Checklist
Stop Guessing Where Your Child Stands in Reading
Download the free Reading Skills Checklist for Parents and get clear on what your child should be able to do from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 3.
If reading feels harder than it should, vague reassurance is not enough.
You need a simple way to see what skills are developing, what may need more support, and what to focus on next.
This free checklist helps you spot the patterns before frustration becomes the norm.
Inside the Free Guide
The key reading skills children typically develop from Junior Kindergarten through Grade 3
Simple “can my child do this?” checkpoints written in parent-friendly language
A clear scoring guide so you are not left wondering what the results mean
Signs your child may need more targeted reading support
A calmer way to talk about reading progress without panic, pressure, or guesswork
This is for you if:
Your child is in JK to Grade 3.
You are wondering if they are “on track,” but you do not want to wait until things get worse.
You have been told to “just keep reading at home,” but you want to know what actually matters.
You want clear next steps, not another overwhelming list of generic tips.
Reading gaps are easier to address when you can actually see them.
This checklist is not a diagnosis. It is not a formal assessment.
It is a clarity tool.
Use it to notice strengths, spot areas that may need support, and make a more confident decision about what your child needs next.
