You want to help your child learn to read — but feel unsure where to begin
You're overwhelmed by conflicting advice online
You don't want to rely on worksheets and pressure
You value bonding as much as academic growth
You have 10 minutes a day — but not hours

I’m a mom of three boys and the creator of Books, Bonds, and Brighter Futures.
I personally taught all three of my children to read before kindergarten using simple, repeatable practices that fit into real life — not Pinterest-perfect schedules.
I created this challenge for parents who feel unsure, and don't want to get it wrong.
This challenge works best for children ages 2–6, but the practices can be adapted for older children who are just beginning to learn to read. The activities are flexible and designed to meet your child where they are, there’s no pressure to move at a certain pace.
Most lessons take about 10 minutes a day. Some days you may spend a little more time reading together, and other days less. The goal is consistency, not perfection, even short, focused moments make a big difference.
That’s completely normal. Every child develops at their own pace. This challenge is designed to be gentle, encouraging, and flexible. You can pause, repeat lessons, or move slower as needed. Progress often happens in small moments, and that’s okay.
No. You’ll receive printable activities you can use at home, and most practices can be done with simple items you already have. If you choose to use beginner books or flashcards, those are optional and just meant to enhance the experience.
After the challenge, you’ll have a clear daily reading routine and a strong foundation to build on. If you’d like continued step-by-step guidance, you’ll also have the option to continue learning inside the full Books, Bonds, and Brighter Futures course, but there’s no pressure. The Jumpstart Challenge stands on its own.
