Student Kit – 1st Step to Reading
1st Step Student Kit includes everything your 1st Step student needs, including the 1st Step Workbook, 4 story readers, music CD, color coded: game pieces, flash cards and word strips, a pencil and JoyFully Read! carrying pouch.
Your student should work in the 1st Step if they:
- are just beginning their reading experience.
- have not mastered the entire alphabet letter sounds (knowledge of letter names doesn’t matter at this point).
- have not mastered basic blending.
- have not mastered basic segmenting.
- have not mastered the *listen/say process (*auditory processing).
- need introduction/a great deal of practice on writing individual letters.
I study Communication Disorders at BYU, served a mission in Sweden, and enjoy dirt biking. I love helping others excel at reading because I know that language creates empowerment, understanding, and opportunities. I can’t wait to help you or your child find the joy of reading!
I’m currently studying Elementary Education at BYU, and I absolutely love working with kids. I’m passionate about making learning fun, engaging, and confidence-boosting. One of my favorite parts of being a tutor at JoyFully Read!™ is watching children discover a genuine love for reading and writing. Helping students grow as learners—and seeing their excitement when things click—is what makes this work so meaningful to me!
