What children learn in reading in Kindergarten
In Kindergarten (typically ages 5–6; equivalent to Foundation (Australia), Reception (England), Kindergarten/UKG (India)), reading work usually focuses on letter sounds, rhyming, simple decodable words, a few sight words and listening to stories. The exact order differs from school to school and country to country, so treat this as a guide rather than a checklist.
Below you will find every Kindergarten reading worksheet on the site, grouped by topic. Each has three printable sheets and a full answer key. For a quick review pick a topic your child already knows; for new learning, start with the first sheet in a topic and move on once the answers come easily.
Questions parents ask
What should a child learn in Reading Kindergarten?
Curricula differ by country, but the topics listed above are typical. Use them as a guide and move up or down as your child needs.
How often should we practise?
Short, regular practice — ten to twenty minutes, three or four times a week — works better than long occasional sessions.
Are answer keys included?
Yes. Every worksheet has an answer key under the sheet; there are three different sheets per topic so you can practise again without repeats.
