A Step-by-Step Path to Early Reading (Ages 3-5)


Teaching a preschooler to read is easier when you follow the right order.

LitSteps guides your child through simple, connected steps—starting with colors and building toward reading.


Here’s the path your child follows:


Unit 1: Colors → 


Unit 2: Shapes→ 


Unit 3: Letters → 


Unit 4: Numbers →


Unit 5: Weather →


Unit 6: Nursery Rhymes


What Your Child Learns at Each Step

Each unit builds on the next, teaching the skills your child needs to become a confident reader:

COLORS: Builds vocabulary and helps children recognize and name what they see

SHAPES: Develops pattern recognition and visual awareness

LETTERS: Introduces letter recognition and sound connections

NUMBERS: Strengthens counting, naming, and early math understanding

WEATHER: Expands vocabulary through everyday experiences

RHYMES: Builds rhythm, memory, and early reading fluency


Each unit builds naturally on the last - without overwhelm.

Start anytime. Move at your child's pace.

LitSteps is an invaluable resource for parents and educators committed to building a strong foundation in literacy. It turns learning into a fun adventure that keeps children motivated and excited about reading.

~ Melanie Obitz-Bukartek, PhD, Literacy Expert

LitSteps should be a part of every child’s early literacy journey. The tools and resources help parents to explicitly teach the foundations of reading.
 
~ Mary Beth Anderson, K-12 Education Specialist

My toddler has absolutely fallen in love with learning his ABCs! Every night during our bedtime routine, he eagerly asks for his ‘letters time,’ even if I forget.

~ Nicole Cantu, Mom of two

My daughter adores the cute illustrations and rhymes in the alphabet books; she is really drawn in by them. Plus the Litsteps books are an amazing accompaniment to the curriculum she’s getting in PreK! Highly recommend for easy learning that is also fun. 

~ Kelly Diskin, Mom of two
