READY! for Kindergarten is the premier school readiness program offered by The Children's Reading Foundation, specifically tailored for children aged 2 to 5, as well as older children who may need to catch up on essential skills.

The READY! for Kindergarten app is designed to prepare your child for future learning and success in school through engaging and interactive gameplay. Each game within the app focuses on developing a specific core skill. These games are crafted to be played repeatedly, as young children thrive with hundreds of repetitions in a nurturing and supportive environment.

To learn more about the skill each game targets, simply tap the "i" icon located in the lower right corner next to each game icon.

As your child engages with the games, the app compiles progress data and sends it to the reports section. This feature allows you to track your child's development in various skill areas. The reports also provide insights into your child's achievements compared to other children of similar ages across the U.S., helping you identify and focus on areas where your child may need additional support.

For children aged 2 to 5, our app includes games that teach essential skills such as singing the ABC song, matching letter shapes, pronouncing letter sounds, expanding vocabulary, counting to 30, and recognizing emotions.

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 entering kindergarten. These targets, developed over a seven-year period, were crafted by early learning experts in collaboration with families, scientists, and educators.

READY! for Kindergarten was recognized with a Top 100 Award by District Administration Magazine in 2013, highlighting its excellence in school readiness programs.
