The paper discusses the following questions: “How to start learning to read? How to make sure that the child will learn reading with pleasure? At what stages to divide the learning process? How to prepare classes that will not be rejected by the child at first attempts to teach him to read?” Children who immediately refuse to learn to read have classes that are built in a wrong way - not taking into account individual characteristics of children, their difficulties, missing the necessary for them steps, hurting children with the references to the successful learning experience of other children. It is shown that to be ready to learn to read is very important. If a child is not ready, a preparatory phase is needed, the duration of which is individual (from 2-3 days to 2-3 months). Adults should also be prepared for classes with the child. It is noted that, otherwise, the preparatory phase for adults is also needed. The author’s play method of determining readiness to read is introduced.
