The transition link is an important part of a day’s life in kindergarten. The transition link is the guarantee for the smooth progress of the day’s activities and contains rich educational value. Independent reading is an important choice for young children in the transition links. Independent reading in the transition links can help children develop good reading habits and improve their self-management abilities. However, in practice, there are some problems with children's independent reading in the transition links, which are mainly manifested in the fact that reading without purpose, reading without experience, and reading without effect. The main reasons for these problems are inappropriate reading materials, limited transition time, and lack of teacher’s guidance. Therefore, in order to improve the effect of children's independent reading in the transition links, teachers need to adjust the class reading materials, rationally organize the transition links, and strengthen the guidance of children's independent reading.
