Description
READY! for Kindergarten is the premier school readiness program of The Children's Reading Foundation designed for children ages 2 to 5 or older children who may be behind in core skills.
The READY! for Kindergarten app helps you prepare your child for all future learning and success in school through interactive game play. Each game helps develop a specific core skill. The games are designed to be played over-and-over again because young children learn best with hundreds of repetitions in a loving and supportive environment.
Touch the "i" in the lower right hand corner by each game icon to get additional information about the skill that game teaches.
As your child plays each game, the app sends information to the reports section, so you can see how your child is progressing in a specific skill area. The reports section shows your child's achievement in relationship to other children of similar age in the U.S., allowing you to focus with your child in areas they might lag.
For children ages 2 to 5, our app's games teach your child to sing the ABC song, match letter shapes, say letter sounds, expand vocabulary, rote count to 30, and recognized emotions.
The foundation of the READY! program is 26 Age-Level Targets, or measurable skills, that a typical 5-year-old must have by the time he or she starts kindergarten. These research-based targets were developed by early learning experts, working closely with families, scientists and educators during a seven-year span.
READY! for Kindergarten won a Top 100 Award for programs from District Administration Magazine in 2013.

Ratings and Reviews
No sound or text
Even though I have the audio and text box checked, it’s not giving me any sound or instructions in text form. Very disappointing as we’re trying to work through this program and they recommend using the app and here I am trying to do it and it will not work. Hopefully it gets updated and we can use it in the future.
It’s cute but half doesn’t work
We like this app but only three of the games work. Really frustrating that the other games don’t work.
Terrible …
I love the purpose of this app, but it has major problems that make it not worth using. My daughter will get 100% of the questions right and it will still rate “below age level” on her skills, it crashes a lot, it doesn’t guide kids through the purpose of a game effectively, and the microphone doesn’t actually start “listening” until it’s been on the screen for a little while, meaning kids will get an answer right, but the app will not “hear” it. Definitely needs a lot of work to get this up to a standard that should be helping parents assess the skills of their children.
