Our Reading
Learning Approach
Playing to Read,
the book that builds readers
Play to Read is a phonics-based learning resource that introduces children to the foundational building blocks of reading through interactive, play-driven activities. Designed for young and emerging readers, this book focuses on basic phonics skills - including letter sounds, blending, and decoding - in a way that feels more like playtime than homework.
Each lesson includes simple, structured phonics instruction followed by a hands-on game or movement-based activity that reinforces the reading skill taught. Whether it's matching sounds, jumping to word cards, or clapping syllables, the book helps children connect reading with joy, movement, and confidence.
Perfect for Transitional Kindergarten through 5th grade, Play to Read supports diverse learners by making reading accessible, fun, and memorable.
