What Is Taught to Kids in Kindergarten?

Teaching kindergarten involves careful preparation, lesson planning, and the right resources. The skills children learn in kindergarten can shape their entire educational journey. But what is taught in kindergarten? What are the crucial kindergarten topics? Let’s explore and take a closer look at essential things typically taught in kindergarten!!

1. Reading in Kindergarten

Kindergarteners develop reading skills at their own pace, and some may need extra time before formal reading instruction. It’s important to make reading a fun, positive experience, not just an academic task. Kids should explore both stories and informational books to build a balanced foundation. 

Understanding the kindergarten reading level is key to providing the right support. Make reading part of their daily routine with activities like reading aloud, sharing favorite books, partner reading, and simple literacy games. Engaging in lively discussions about stories also boosts their comprehension and keeps them excited about reading!

Here are essential topics that are typically covered in kindergarten reading instruction and fun learning activities you can use to kickstart your child’s learning journey:

• Learning the names of the letters of the alphabet. 

i) Alphabet Songs: Begin with fun alphabet songs (ABC rhymes). 

ii) Alphabet Flashcards: Use letter flashcards and ask kids to name each one. 

iii) Interactive Alphabet Games: Play is a child’s natural way of learning. So, here are some interactive letter-matching games and memory games focusing on key skills, such as identifying letters, matching uppercase and lowercase letters, and mastering the alphabet sequence:

iv) Practice naming letters with magnetic letters on the fridge.

• A comprehensive introduction to the most common letter sounds.

i) Connect Letters with Objects: Connect each letter with a familiar object and sound. Use flashcards or sing songs emphasizing letter sounds, like “A is for apple, a-a-apple” or “B says b, b, b as in ball.”

ii) Phonics Games: Practice listening and repeating sounds with games that isolate phonemes. This helps kids hear and differentiate sounds before connecting them to letters. Kids will also explore words starting with a specific letter!

iii) Play a matching game with pictures and their corresponding letter sounds.

• Decoding short vowel sounds. 

i) CVC Word Flashcards: Use flashcards with CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) words to highlight the short vowel sound. Practice identifying short vowel sounds in simple words like “cat” and “dog.”

ii) Short Vowel Sound Games: Play games that help kids use both sound and sight to master short vowel sounds. In these games, kids will tackle challenges like filling in the correct vowel sound to build a given word.

iii) Sorting: Sort words based on short vowel sounds, like words with “a” in one group and “e” in another.

• Blending individual sounds to form words. Blending and segmenting syllables, onsets, and rimes. 

i) Introduce the concept of blending with simple two or three-letter words (e.g., CVC words like bat). Remember, short, frequent practice sessions are more effective. Sound out letters like /c/, /a/, and /t/, then blend them together to say “cat.”

ii) Clap to break words into syllables, like “ta-ble” for “table.”

iii) Incorporate fun games that focus on blending sounds. In these games, kids learn how two letters can work together and make a single sound—digraphs!

iv) Play a game by giving the onset (like /c/) and the rime (/at/), then blend to say “cat.”

• Recognizing common sight words. 

i) Teach sight words to kindergarteners using flashcards.

ii) Read simple books and ask kids to point out sight words they recognize.

iii) Make sight word learning fun and effective with engaging games and sensory activities. Kids hear and read a sight word, spot it in a group of mixed words, and drag it into a minecart for a playful experience. Through repetition, they quickly recognize and remember sight words, boosting their reading skills effortlessly!

• Identifying and creating rhyming words.  

i) To teach rhyming words to kindergarteners, use rhyming books, songs, and nursery rhymes to help children recognize word patterns. 

ii) Play a game where you say a word like “cat,” and they come up with a rhyming word like “hat.”

iii) Try these fun games that teach kids how to create rhyming words. Kids will explore rhyming patterns, learn letter sounds, and swap initial sounds to form new words. For example, consider the word family –atch. Kids will replace the missing letter with “m,” “p,” or “b” to make rhyming words “match,” “patch,” and “batch.” 

• Identifying literary and informational texts.

(LITERATURE: picture books, stories, drama, poetry, fiction, fairytales, nursery rhymes, folk tales, tall tales, and other literary texts. INFORMATIONAL TEXTS: picture books, non-fiction, biographies, autobiographies, books and articles about science, art, history, social studies, and information displayed in charts, graphs, or maps.)

i) Read a story or a short article together and ask if it’s a literature or informational text. 

ii) Discuss why a particular piece of text is considered to be literature or informational text.

• Retell stories or share key details from a text.

i) After reading a story, create or print out picture cards representing key events. Ask your child to arrange the cards in the correct order and retell the story using the cards as prompts.

ii) Ask your child to draw three pictures: one for the beginning, one for the middle, and one for the end of the story. Then, have them use the pictures to summarize the story in their own words.

iii) Try these engaging worksheets. Here, kids will observe a picture and list key details, match pictures with the main idea, and practice sequencing steps to make a meaningful story or recipe.

• Identify characters, settings, and significant events in a story.

i) Use picture books to discuss the characters and where the story takes place.

ii) Have your child choose their favorite character, setting, and event from the story and act it out. This helps them recall and understand the story elements in a fun, interactive way. For example, if the story is The Three Little Pigs, ask your child to pick their favorite character (e.g., the Big Bad Wolf), setting (e.g., the brick house), and event (e.g., when the wolf tries to blow down the house).

iii) Give your child a reading advantage with our printable worksheets. In these exercises, kids will enjoy illustrating their favorite characters, creating their own stories using given prompts, filling in details about characters and settings, and more such fun activities!
