READY! for Kindergarten: The leading school readiness program.

Developed by The Children's Reading Foundation, READY! for Kindergarten is a top-tier program designed for children aged 2-5, or older children needing to catch up on essential skills.

This interactive app uses engaging games to prepare your child for academic success. Each game focuses on a specific core skill, encouraging repeated play—a key element for young learners. Detailed information on each game's skill focus is available by tapping the "i" icon in the lower right corner of each game.

The app tracks your child's progress, providing reports that compare their achievement to other children of the same age in the U.S. This allows you to identify and address any skill gaps.

For children aged 2-5, the app covers crucial skills including singing the alphabet song, letter recognition (shape and sound), vocabulary expansion, counting to 30, and emotional recognition.

The READY! program's foundation is built upon 26 age-level targets—measurable skills a typical 5-year-old needs for kindergarten. These research-based targets were developed over seven years by early childhood experts, working with families, scientists, and educators.

READY! for Kindergarten received a Top 100 Award from District Administration Magazine in 2013.
