Kickstart Literacy and Numeracy:
A Structured Pathway for Early Learners
Mona Iyer, creator of K Reading Kickstart and K Math Kickstart, presents a
comprehensive, multisensory approach to early literacy and numeracy
instruction designed for all young learners, including those who may later
be identified with dyslexia or other learning differences. The reading
curriculum, grounded in the science of reading, systematically builds
phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension
through direct, structured, and cumulative lessons. Paired with the K Math
Kickstart program, which introduces core math concepts using hands-on
methods and visual reasoning, students gain confidence and foundational
understanding in both literacy and numeracy. These programs are used
widely in classrooms and at home and are developmentally appropriate for
PreK, Kindergarten through First grade. Attendees will explore how Mona’s
integrated curriculum not only supports early skill acquisition but also
allows educators and caregivers to identify potential learning difficulties
early, ensuring that every child gets the support they need from the start.
Padi is the new digitized extension of the K-Reading Kickstart Program.
This new Padi platform uses the principles and content of K-Reading
Kickstart program and renders it in an interactive digital format to enable
any teacher to log in and start using the new teaching methods right away.
This will be discussed by the founder of Padi, Nisha Iyer.
