READY! for Kindergarten is the premier school readiness program offered by The Children's Reading Foundation. It's specifically designed for children aged 2 to 5, or older children who might need to catch up on core skills essential for school success.

The READY! for Kindergarten app is an engaging tool that prepares your child for future learning and academic success through interactive gameplay. Each game is crafted to enhance a particular core skill, and they are designed for repeated play. This approach is grounded in the understanding that young children thrive with numerous repetitions in a nurturing and supportive environment.

For detailed information about the skills each game targets, simply touch the "i" icon located in the lower right corner of each game icon.

As your child engages with the games, the app diligently tracks their progress and sends this data to the reports section. This feature enables you to monitor your child's development in specific skill areas. The reports compare your child's achievements with those of peers of similar ages across the U.S., helping you identify and focus on any areas where your child may need additional support.

For children aged 2 to 5, the app's games are tailored to teach them to sing the ABC song, match letter shapes, articulate letter sounds, expand their vocabulary, count to 30 by rote, and recognize emotions.

The foundation of the READY! program comprises 26 Age-Level Targets, which are measurable skills that a typical 5-year-old should master before entering kindergarten. These targets were meticulously developed over seven years by early learning experts, in collaboration with families, scientists, and educators.

READY! for Kindergarten received a prestigious Top 100 Award from District Administration Magazine in 2013, underscoring its effectiveness and value in early education.
