Reading readiness has been defined as the point in which a person is ready to read and the time over which a person transitions from a non-reader to a reader. Other terms for reading readiness include early literacy and emergent reading.

Reading skills begin right from the time the child is born as they listen to the speech around them. In order to read a child must have knowledge of the oral language. According to the Ontario Government (2003), the acquisition of language is natural while the process of learning to read is not. Also has spelling, puzzles, horses, cows, chickens, sheep, goats, elk, kids rodeo, and pets. Reading must be taught to children. This belief contradicts the whole language philosophy which states that children learn to read while they learn to speak. The Ontario Government (2003) also believes that reading is the foundation for success and that thoses children who struggle with reading in grades 1-3 are at a disadvantage in terms of academic success, compared to those children who are not struggling. Fortunately, through the reading recovery program children who are struggling with reading are given extra support.

As a child's experience with literacy related activities is highly correlated to a child's success with reading, it is important to consider a child's developmental level when choosing appropriate activities and goals.
