Inside Part 2: Words to Books
Common Questions
Is The Reading Skill Set a subscription?
The Reading Skill Set is not a subscription-it's broken into 3 parts and designed to move at your child's pace. You can start with the individaul part your child is ready for, or get the complete set at a discount.
Should I wait until my child finishes their Play Kits Subscription before starting The Reading Skill Set?
There’s no need to wait. Lovevery is a complete early learning system, with The Play Kits focused on stage-based, holistic development, and The Reading Skill Set focused specifically on early literacy skills. Your child can have fun and learn with The Reading Skill Set and The Play Kits at the same time.
What age or grade is The Reading Skill Set for?
Each child progresses at their own pace. No matter the grade-level of your child, studies show that re-visiting sound and foundational phonics skills can help increase confidence and fluency. The grade levels listed below are for reference, but you should start with the part that is the best fit for your child’s current skill level.
- Part 1: Skills often taught in Pre-K and Kindergarten
- Part 2: Skills often taught in Kindergarten and 1st grade
- Part 3: Skills often taught in 1st and 2nd grade
Why did Lovevery take a phonics-based approach to reading?
Research shows that incorporating structured phonics is the most effective approach for learning to read, especially for children experiencing difficulty. However, since reading is a complex process, it’s critical that additional skills—such as oral language, fluency, vocabulary, background knowledge, and phonemic awareness—are supported as well.

How much parent involvement is needed to successfully complete this program?
We designed many of the games to be self-correcting (your child can check their own answers) and to be played independently so that you’re not expected to become a reading teacher. As a parent, you’ll need to introduce or set up each product to get them started. Plus, the multiplayer games are fun for families to play together, so they won’t feel like work.
The Play Guide that comes with each part includes helpful scripts to introduce new skills as well as guidance on what to say when your child makes a mistake.
