Where Do We Start?

Start at the top left, read left to right and top to bottom, then turn the page.

Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. 10 minutes or less.

For grown-ups

With help, your child follows print from left to right, top to bottom, and page to page, and knows where to start. We suggest reading it together.

What children learn in Level 3

We start reading at the top, on the left side. Then we go across, like this arrow.
At the end of the line, we go down to the next line, and start on the left again.
Your turn! Tap the word we read first: the one on the left.
In an open book, we read the left page, then the right page. Then we turn the page!
Try it with a grown-up! When your grown-up reads, move your finger under the words, from left to right.

Georgia Early Learning and Development Standards (GELDS), 48–60 months:

CLL8.4c — With prompting and support, tracks words from left to right, top to bottom, and page to page.
CLL8.4e — Identifies the front, back, top, and bottom of a book. Points to the title of familiar books or stories and where to begin reading a story.
