In short

How do you teach a child to read before primary school?

Children read most smoothly when guided by level: recognising letter sounds, blending syllables, reading words of two and three syllables, mastering tricky consonants, then moving into sentences and short stories. This bundle supplies practice material for every one of those stages.

Children stall at particular points, and those points are predictable

Some children know every letter yet cannot read a single word. Some read short words fluently then freeze the moment ng, ny, kh, or sy appears. Others read aloud beautifully, and go silent when asked what the story was about.

Those three moments belong to three different stages, and each one needs its own practice. This bundle supplies that practice in order: letters and their sounds, the syllable drill across twenty one consonants, flashcards to sharpen recognition, two syllable words, three syllable words and words ending in consonants, tricky consonants, high frequency words, themed sentences, five levelled stories, and comprehension questions.

Before any of it, there is a five minute reading check. The result tells you which stage is holding your child back, so you never spend the first week reviewing what your child already owns.

Who it fits

Which stage a child gains the most from

Three common signs that your child is ready for this material.

Is new to letters

  • Names the letters without knowing their sounds
  • Has never blended two letters into one sound
  • Is four or older and curious about print

Reads short words already

  • Fluent on two syllable words, stuck on longer ones
  • Confused by ng, ny, kh, sy
  • Reads by naming letters one at a time

Reads sentences comfortably

  • Fluent aloud, comprehension untested
  • Ready for levelled stories to build the reading habit
  • Prepared for comprehension questions

How to use it

How to use it in the first thirty days

This material rewards short sessions repeated daily.

  1. 1

    Day one, run the five minute check

    Note the stage where your child stalls. That becomes your starting point, and everything below it needs only a quick review.

  2. 2

    Ten minutes reading, ten minutes cards

    A short two part session keeps children fresh. Flashcards sharpen syllable recognition without feeling like work.

  3. 3

    Move to stories once words feel light

    When three syllable words come without long pauses, open the levelled stories. Finishing a whole story builds the sense of being a reader.

  4. 4

    Put progress on the wall

    The sticker progress map gives your child visible proof of movement, which often works better than spoken praise.

The Lilo method

The reading method Lilo builds on

Lilo uses a sound based approach shaped around the Indonesian language.

Sounds come before letter names

Children practise the short sound of b, so meeting ba produces ba immediately. Naming letters slows that moment down.

The syllable as the working unit

Indonesian is highly regular at syllable level. Training whole syllables lets a child read words never seen before.

Stories a child can actually finish

Levelled stories use only words your child has already mastered, so the reading succeeds and confidence grows.

Questions from parents

Parent questions about learning to read

Which age suits this bundle best?

It is used most often with children aged four to six. Grade 1 children who still stumble also benefit, because the staircase can be entered from the middle.

My child already spells words out. Should we restart from zero?

Run the five minute check first. If syllables are solid, begin at three syllable words and tricky consonants, then move into sentences.

How do I make sure I pronounce the sounds correctly?

The twenty minute guide inside sets out how each sound is made along with an example word, giving you a consistent reference while you sit alongside your child.

How many pages need printing?

There is no need to print everything at once. Many parents print a single stage, use it until fluent, then print the next.

How does this differ from reading books sold in shops?

This material is levelled and paired with a placement check, so you know which stage your child belongs in. It also covers tricky consonants, which general books rarely address.

What if my child needs a tutor?

The Lilo Reading programme follows the same staircase with a tutor, so the work already done at home continues to count.

Related programs and packs

This pack trains reading at home. If you would rather have a teacher alongside your child, the three classes below teach the same path with a tutor, and the two packs beside them add writing and counting.
