Is my child ready to read?

Free checklist

Eight things many children show before reading clicks. Tick what you notice this week.

• Enjoys being read to and asks for favourite books
• Knows a book goes front to back, and words go left to right
• Recognises a few letters, often the ones in their own name
• Notices words that rhyme, like cat and hat
• Can hear the first sound in a word: “sun starts with sss”
• Retells a short story in their own words
• Points at signs and asks what they say
• Can stay with a book for a few minutes

Every child is different. A few empty boxes is normal. These are things to enjoy together, not a test.
