READY! for Kindergarten stands as the premier school readiness program crafted by The Children's Reading Foundation, specifically designed for children aged 2 to 5, as well as older children who may need to catch up on core skills. Our comprehensive app helps you prepare your child for future learning and academic success through engaging and interactive gameplay. Each game within the app focuses on developing a specific core skill, and is designed to be played repeatedly. This approach is rooted in the understanding that young children thrive with hundreds of repetitions in a nurturing and supportive environment.
For detailed insights into the skills each game targets, simply tap the "i" icon located in the lower right corner next to each game. As your child engages with these games, the app diligently tracks their progress and sends this data to the reports section. Here, you can monitor your child's development in specific skill areas and compare their achievements with those of other children of similar age across the U.S. This feature empowers you to identify and focus on areas where your child might need additional support.
Our app is tailored for children aged 2 to 5, offering games that teach essential skills such as singing the ABC song, matching letter shapes, articulating letter sounds, expanding vocabulary, rote counting to 30, and recognizing emotions. These activities are crucial for building a strong foundation for future learning.
The foundation of the READY! program is built on 26 Age-Level Targets, which are measurable skills that a typical 5-year-old should master before starting kindergarten. These targets were meticulously developed over seven years by early learning experts in collaboration with families, scientists, and educators, ensuring a research-based approach to early childhood education.
READY! for Kindergarten has been recognized with the Top 100 Award by District Administration Magazine in 2013, underscoring its effectiveness and impact in preparing children for school.
