Joondalup Libraries has developed a set of Reading Ready and Reading Ready mini packs to help our youngest readers at the start of their reading journey.
The Reading Ready kits are a borrowable resource developed to help parents of Kindy and Pre-Primary children support their child as they learn to read independently.
The packs have been developed in consultation with literacy experts from the Dyslexia-SPELD Foundation and contain a mix of resources for parents to use to supplement their child's learning at home, with an element of fun. The packs contain:
- an information booklet on how children learn to read and how to support them as they learn
- four decodable books
- a rhyming picture book
- a phonics-based game
- a sound matching game
- a deck of rhyming playing cards.
Reading Ready packs are now available at all City of Joondalup libraries.
This project has been supported by funding provided by the State Government of Western Australia, through the State Library's Better Beginnings program.
