In kindergarten, the ideal reading level is starting at Level A and working up to Level D.
This is so they can move into reading texts at advanced levels as they continue to progress. These levels are designed to align with children’s development.
Knowing what the reading levels are, however, is not nearly enough. It’s important to discuss how much a student can read—how slowly, how fast, and how well.
Also, make sure you know how and when students are getting their reading lessons. It’s important to know how many lessons, at what time of the day, and what type of books they are getting. It can help to have a system.
Different Levels of Reading
Level A
Kindergarten reading at Level A helps children with their behavioral development towards reading. This level uses lots of sight words, rhyming words, and compound words.
Children start reading whole words and learn to read sentences with very simple vocabulary. This level uses repetition and guided instruction for learning.
Level A readers work on developing the following skills:
- Knowing the sounds of oral language
- Pronouncing words
- Finding words
- Identifying pictures
- Following a story
- Reading for information
- Using context clues and illustrations
Level A reading is essential to kindergarten. The skills that are practiced are all-inclusive. The skills learned, assist in developing and strengthening your child’s reading skills.
Level B
Level B reading is for learners who have basic reading skills.
This level uses proficient vocabulary in everyday situations and includes some narratives. The grammar is simple.
But, reading comprehension and understanding of text require a dictionary and some prior knowledge of the materials.
Readers at this level have a difficult time reading long paragraphs. Concepts such as blended words are often difficult for this level because.
Level B readers should have the following skills:
- Can read short words or phrases
- Has good oral expression and oral comprehension
- Understanding of cause-and-effect relationships
- Understand definitions and simple illustrations with no need for further explanation
- Comprehends long words and sentences
- Has a basic understanding of the context
- Understand basic math formulas
- Understands basic colors and shapes
Level B reading helps children to become more confident and expand their vocabulary. It also allows them to have fun, play successfully, and engage with others.
Level C
Level C reading is the point between being a basic reader and a literary reader. The literary reader can use reading for enjoyment, to convey meaning, and to enrich their lives. But, they cannot be expected to read challenging texts.
Their reading abilities will not be as deep as they would be if they read above an educated reading level.
Level C readers develop the following skills:
- A basic understanding of reading and the English language
- Knowledge of reading strategies
- Understanding of various forms of writing (letters, numbers, and words)
- Knowledge and understanding of how the main elements of texts (sentences, paragraphs, and articles) help to communicate meaning
- Understanding how the main elements of texts (stories, plays, novels, short stories) enable the reader to enjoy and learn from a story
- Comprehend the meaning of the story
- Learn from the story
- Understanding the importance of vocabulary to read and learn.
Readers at this level are not limited by their age. If children are ready and eager to read, they should be offered reading materials that challenge them. This level helps children to understand that the world around them changes and develops and that they are not static beings.
Level D
This level of understanding focuses on the ability to think critically and make logical judgments. Students at this level are capable of solving problems. They have a solid understanding of how to work with multiple ideas to express themselves.
They have learned to read to expand their knowledge. This helps them as they progress with their reading development and comprehension.
Level D readers should possess the following skills:
- Know how to read a variety of books
- Can find specific information within the text with the use of a dictionary or thesaurus
- They have an eye for detail and can write well-developed paragraphs
- Can draw conclusions and write clear sentences that are free of spelling and grammatical errors
- Differentiate between nouns, pronouns, adverbs, adjectives and, verbs
- They can read a variety of content and summarize information within their reading
- They understand what to include and what to leave out in a sentence
Readers at this level should have advanced reading abilities.
They are capable of reading and writing at a level that is advanced in the primary grades. Let’s look at why it’s so important to develop reading at this stage.
What Is the Importance of Developing Reading at This Stage?
The importance of developing reading at kindergarten level is to create a firm foundation of the language for the reader. First-grade reading tools will emerge stronger than either previous grade level thanks to these kindergarten foundation skills.
Children with these developed skills can learn how to apply their acquired vocabulary and understand the text. What happens is that they understand more text in the first grade than they did in kindergarten.
They understand different concepts in the text. These include words, parts of speech, paragraphs, sentence structure, word parts, and a lot more. Children know how to apply word parts to make new words and sentences, which is essential to reading comprehension.
So many kindergartners are not as prepared to learn reading. They have not mastered pre-reading skills such as phonemic awareness, phonics, letter identification, and letter/word pairs. This lack of development and understanding holds them back as they progress in school.
Final Words: How Do I Help My Kindergartner Improve Their Reading?
To help your kindergartner improve their reading, make sure they understand the mechanics of decoding and identifying the individual sounds of letters and words.
Read the same story to them repeatedly and break it down. This is so your kindergartner can recite the story in their head. This will help them develop confidence and understanding of what they are reading. Keep in mind, that this is an ongoing process.
It is a good idea to read to your young child often. This will help to develop their sense of independence and their love of books. It also helps to develop their reading skills!

The main criteria that a modern kindergarten must meet | Forbes Education
AUTHOR:
Revision
Every parent, when deciding to send their child to kindergarten, hopes that it will be comfortable and safe there.
Parents carefully study preschool institutions so as not to make a mistake and make the right choice. But how do you know if a particular kindergarten is right for your child?
Tatyana Yustus, a member of the Our Childhood association, an expert from the University of Childhood community, head of the Zhuravushka kindergarten (Krasnoyarsk), told Forbes Education what basic criteria a modern kindergarten should meet.
at the end of the material - a practical checklist at the choice of kindergarten
Positive attitude to itself
"The emotional environment of a modern kindergarten should be laid in children primarily a positive attitude towards children The child must understand and feel that he is the main, important in this world and he is always welcome.
The task of preschool teachers is to:
- the child felt that he himself was able to create and that this was appreciated by those around him;
- give confidence to the child that he himself can influence the course of events and he will always be supported;
- to show that the world around you is safe and interesting, and you don't have to constantly expect negative things in your address.
The subject environment should be arranged in such a way as to arouse curiosity and a desire to try something, to experiment. For example, shelves should be level with the height of the child so that it is easy to pick up toys or art supplies. This will allow you to show initiative and independence. The teacher, on the other hand, should meet the child's activity not with resistance, but with support.
"The emotional environment of a modern kindergarten should instill in children, first of all, a positive attitude towards themselves. The child must understand and feel that he is the main, important in this world and he is always welcome."
The task of preschool teachers is to:
- the child feel that he himself is able to create and that this is appreciated by others;
- give confidence to the child that he himself can influence the course of events and he will always be supported;
- to show that the world around you is safe and interesting, and you don't have to constantly wait for negativity in your address.
The subject environment should be arranged in such a way as to arouse curiosity and a desire to try something, to experiment. For example, shelves should be level with the height of the child so that it is easy to pick up toys or art supplies. This will allow you to show initiative and independence. The teacher, on the other hand, should meet the child's activity not with resistance, but with support.
Independence and initiative
The first component associated with initiative is the full development of the game. Developing free play that is not set by an adult can be equally good both in the garden and at home. It is important that the child feels like the author of the game. Behind initiative is imagination. To develop the imagination, one must maintain natural curiosity.
In a good kindergarten, toys develop imagination: these are not ready-made, skillfully crocheted dumplings, but all kinds of cubes, cylinders, pebbles, sticks - everything that can turn into anything, the so-called polyfunctional material.
If the educator maintains interest in the game, then the children get involved, study for several hours and actively imagine. The game develops the ability to build relationships with peers, to negotiate. Sometimes, in ordinary life, it is difficult for a child to express his emotions and feelings, but in the game it turns out. So, for example, you can turn into a dragon and express your anger - after all, pretending to be a completely different life, in the "pretending" world you can solve many problems that are not solved in reality. In the game, everyone is equal, creativity develops, the ability to cooperate and act in changing circumstances, not be afraid to express themselves.
“
Also, practice shows that the use of “school” formats in the garden, primarily the rules of the lesson system, does not at all contribute to the education of children of primary preschool age.
Lessons are ineffective here, which means that obtaining new knowledge should be a game, a kind of search, a discovery that a child makes. Adults often forget about the importance of play, unfortunately.
— Ekaterina Rybakova, founder of the Childhood University Foundation, co-founder and president of the Rybakov Foundation
Of course, we are not talking about any game, but first of all about role-playing game in its developed forms, in the "invention" of which children are directly involved. In such a game there are rules agreed upon and accepted by all participants, there are roles and a plot that develops, perhaps with the support of an adult (teacher), but always with the involvement of the children themselves.
The second component is productive activity: modeling, drawing, appliqué. Here it is also important to support the initiative of the child - after discussing events, natural phenomena, it is necessary to give the opportunity to express this in their work in the way they saw and perceived them .
And when the teacher encourages, rejoices, is surprised at the result, without trying to correct or remake it according to the established model, the child understands that his authorship is respected and recognized as valuable.
When a children's work is evaluated according to a model in a negative context, for example: “This is the wrong boat, we’ll fix it now”, or “Where did you see purple trees?”, Or “How beautiful you drew, but if the tree were green, then it would be quite similar, ”children understand that they do not live up to the standard, which causes anxiety and does not develop children's initiative.
When a children’s work is judged on a model in a negative context, for example: “This is the wrong boat, we’ll fix it now”, or “Where did you see purple trees?”, or “How beautiful you drew, but if the tree was green , it would be quite similar, ”the children understand that they do not live up to the standard, which causes anxiety and does not develop children's initiative.
Trust and confident communication
It all starts at the door when the child enters the garden. The first moment of the meeting is very important (every day). A "good" adult should always be genuinely interested in a child. This cannot be faked, children always feel sincere interest and realize that their state, thoughts, questions, they themselves, arouse curiosity. It is necessary to give children the feeling that their appearance in the group is an important event for adults. At a meeting, for example, you can ask: “What did you dream about today?”, “Where did the tooth go?”, “What did you bring?” etc.
Confidence is also formed in organizational moments, when events are discussed, plans are made for the “morning circle” (*note when children sit in a circle with a teacher, plan the day, share important news).
A good teacher knows how to help a child who is shy to speak. Alternatively, you can sit next to each other, offer to tell the child everything in your ear, so that later you can voice what was said aloud, or, for example, speak together. So the kid understands: what he thinks is so important that the whole group should know about it! With this approach, confidence will gradually come that the emotions and deeds of the child are valuable. Remember that trust is formed in small things: it is important to look into the eyes, listen carefully, sit down on the same level with the children.
Parents' participation in the life of the kindergarten
Parents should be primarily interested in the life of their children, and not in the life of educators or directors. It should be important for them what happens to the child, how he lives, to support his interests, to “pick up” important events that took place in the garden, to develop this story.
If a parent can be useful to other children, for example, he has an interesting profession or an unusual hobby, then he can come and talk about them in kindergarten. And remember about “fakeness” - an understanding parent should always and everywhere support the game, not insist on the presence of a large number of expensive dolls and cars in the kindergarten, but bring, for example, tree cuts, pebbles or shreds.
Signs of a worthy modern kindergarten
/ Scrap for parents /
Territory
Children's independence is visible and there are places where children feel real owners. On the territory there are self-made children's buildings, huts, etc., which are not cleaned during the day, because they are given value.
Perfectly clean, practically untouched places for walking, where no child has obviously set foot.
Walks
There are elements of free play, experiments with the environment: boards, pebbles, leaves, various sticks, branches, pieces of fabric - everything that awakens imagination and gives birth to play. Children build various structures, towers of stones, sand, "grow" trees, "repair" cars, play "shop", etc.
Children are engaged strictly in a limited space with any repetitive activities - swinging, rolling down a hill, etc.
Room
On the walls are displayed works that children are truly proud of, spontaneous works of children hang on the walls. There is an informal life, which, perhaps, even extends into the corridors. For example, the guys noticed a bee on a walk, returned to the interested group, together with the teacher found out what kind of insect it was, how it works, drew it, blinded it, and urgently wanted to share their new knowledge with the whole kindergarten - and placed their work on their own in the corridors .
Only exemplary, ideal works that teachers consider the best come across.
Dialogue with the teacher
It becomes clear from the conversation and tone that the teacher is genuinely interested in the children.
It seems that everything is done in such a way that an adult is not hindered from working.
Conversation with the manager
Asks about the child and his interests, features, offers options on how to most smoothly pass the adaptation. Tells about different approaches in the groups you are considering
Declares rules, requirements and fines, uses clericalism and bureaucratic phrases.
Kindergarten dialogues
To find out more about your child's experience in kindergarten, ask questions about their feelings, and these feelings should be as expressed as possible:
- What was the coolest thing about kindergarten today? What made you happy?
- And what was the most upsetting thing? What didn't work out the way you wanted?
Another trick is to ask funny questions:
- Did Masha bring a crocodile to the kindergarten again today?
- Did your teachers feed you dandelions today?
In response, there is usually a reaction of indignation, after which one can find out what Masha brought and what they actually fed.
We thank Elena Golovacheva and the University of Childhood for their help in preparing the material.
