READY! for Kindergarten

READY! for Kindergarten is the premier school readiness program from The Children's Reading Foundation, tailored for children aged 2 to 5, or for older children who may need to catch up on core skills. This program is designed to prepare your child for all future learning and success in school through engaging, interactive gameplay. Each game within the READY! for Kindergarten app focuses on developing a specific core skill, and is structured to be played repeatedly, as young children thrive on hundreds of repetitions in a nurturing and supportive environment.

To learn more about the skill each game targets, simply touch the "i" icon located in the lower right-hand corner by each game icon. As your child engages with these games, the app compiles progress data and sends it to the reports section. This feature allows you to track your child's development in specific skill areas, comparing their achievements to those of similarly aged children across the U.S. This comparison helps you identify and focus on areas where your child might need extra support.

For children aged 2 to 5, our app's games are designed to teach essential skills such as singing the ABC song, matching letter shapes, pronouncing letter sounds, expanding vocabulary, counting to 30 by rote, and recognizing emotions. These skills form the foundation of the READY! program, which is built on 26 Age-Level Targets. These targets are measurable skills that a typical 5-year-old should master before starting kindergarten. Developed over seven years by early learning experts in collaboration with families, scientists, and educators, these research-based targets ensure your child is on the right path to school readiness.

READY! for Kindergarten was honored with a Top 100 Award by District Administration Magazine in 2013, recognizing its excellence in preparing children for school.
