Frequently Asked Questions

What should my 5 year old be able to read?

Many 5 year olds are beginning to recognise letters, connect sounds to words, read simple high-frequency words, and understand short picture books with support. Some may read basic sentences independently, while others are still developing phonics and listening comprehension. The key is steady progress, confidence, and age-appropriate practice rather than expecting every child to read fluently at the same stage.
