READY! for Kindergarten stands as the premier school readiness program developed by The Children's Reading Foundation, tailored specifically for children aged 2 to 5, as well as older children who might need to catch up on essential core skills. This innovative program is designed to equip your child for future learning and success in school through engaging, interactive gameplay. Each game within the READY! for Kindergarten app targets a specific core skill, and is crafted for repeated play because young children thrive with hundreds of repetitions in a nurturing and supportive setting.
To delve deeper into what each game teaches, simply tap the "i" icon located in the lower right corner beside each game icon. As your child engages with the games, the app diligently tracks their progress, sending detailed information to the reports section. This feature allows you to monitor your child's achievements in various skill areas, comparing them to similar-aged children across the U.S. This insight helps you to focus on areas where your child might need extra attention.
For children aged 2 to 5, the app's games are designed to teach essential skills such as singing the ABC song, matching letter shapes, pronouncing letter sounds, expanding vocabulary, rote counting to 30, and recognizing emotions. The foundation of the READY! program rests on 26 Age-Level Targets—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.
Recognized for its excellence, READY! for Kindergarten received a Top 100 Award from District Administration Magazine in 2013.
