United StatesREADY! 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.

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.
United StatesTerrible …
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.
United StatesGlitchy
On the train game, level two page two the bee icon is frozen and we can’t get past that page. The “munchkin” game crashes the whole app often. The gum ball game works but my 3yo would rather get the answer wrong to feed the fish the gum ball so I can’t assess his comprehension. Such potential here.. when it did work for about a month his reading abilities soared, thank you!
United StatesVery frustrating no sound
The game thinks the sound is playing but no sound plays. All the games rely on hearing letter sounds. Not sure what the issue is
United StatesReply to all of you that mention the “no sound”
Remove the silent mode in your device! For iPhones: undo the red button on the side of your device (above the volume button) THIS IS A GREAT APP !!!
United StatesNo sound and no way to contact developers
Just downloaded this app and there is no sound and no way to report issues. It’s USELESS without the sound.
United StatesNo sound!
I had this a couple years ago and it worked great. Redownloaded now and it doesn’t have any sound. Bummer! Can’t use this app without sound.
