Welcome to Learning to Read
Rabbit Hole Learning's Learning to Reading is a structured, play-based early literacy curriculum for children ages 3–6(ish). It follows the science of reading. It builds skills in the order children's brains are generally ready to receive them, starting with sound awareness and ending with letter-sound knowledge. Each unit is flexible and designed to be taught without any special training or materials.
