READY! for Kindergarten is the premier school readiness program of The Children's Reading Foundation, specifically designed for children aged 2 to 5, or for older children who may need to catch up on core skills. This innovative program aims to prepare your child for future learning and success in school through engaging and interactive gameplay.
The READY! for Kindergarten app features games that are crafted to be played repeatedly, as young children thrive with hundreds of repetitions in a nurturing environment. Each game targets a specific core skill, helping your child to master essential abilities. For more detailed information about the skills each game teaches, simply touch the "i" icon located in the lower right-hand corner by each game.
As your child progresses through the games, the app diligently tracks their performance and sends this data to the reports section. This feature allows you to monitor your child's development in various skill areas and compare their achievements with those of other children of similar ages across the U.S. This comparison helps you identify and focus on areas where your child might need extra attention.
For children aged 2 to 5, the app's games are designed to teach crucial skills such as singing the ABC song, matching letter shapes, pronouncing letter sounds, expanding vocabulary, counting to 30, and recognizing emotions. These activities lay a strong foundation for your child's educational journey.
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 seven years by early learning experts in collaboration with families, scientists, and educators, ensure a comprehensive and research-based approach to school readiness.
In recognition of its excellence, READY! for Kindergarten received a Top 100 Award from District Administration Magazine in 2013.
