ABC mouse Reading curriculum

“Four weeks ago, my daughter could only recognize 5 letters in the alphabet and could not recognize the corresponding sounds. In a matter of a few weeks on ABCmouse.com, she can now identify ALL of her letters and recognize ALL corresponding sounds. I’m amazed!!!”

—Mother of 2– and 4–year–old girls

The ABCmouse.com
Reading curriculum includes:

  • Uppercase and lowercase letter recognition
  • Phonics and sight words
  • Recognizing sounds
  • Rhyming words and word families

ABCmouse.com’s reading curriculum helps
kids learn all of the basics they need to
become confident and successful readers for the
rest of their lives. With a full online preschool,
pre-k, and kindergarten reading curriculum, your
child will learn the fundamentals of reading and
phonics while developing a lifelong love of
learning in the process.

ABCmouse.com’s reading program includes hundreds of reading activities that stress those aspects of reading that are most important for young learners. Our Beginning Reader series introduces young learners to the joys of reading through stories that emphasize word families (groups of words with the same ending sound, such as hot, pot, and not) and feature the highest-quality illustrations and graphics.

On our Step-by-Step Learning Path, your child can begin with the basics of preschool reading and phonics, and then move on to more and more advanced material at his or her own pace in our pre-k reading and kindergarten reading sections. You may also want to visit our Reading Basics area, which allows children to practice with letters, phonics, sight words, word families, and more in a fully interactive environment.

“Research has shown that children learn more from birth to age five than at any other time in their lives. Children who complete the curriculum of ABCmouse.com during those all–important formative years will be very well prepared for kindergarten, and that can make a very big difference in the rest of their schooling.”

“Parents want to help their young children learn, but may not know where to turn for the right educational resources. If I could recommend only one online resource to parents of young children, it would be ABCmouse.com, without a doubt.”
