Read Ready

Early childhood learning plays a foundational role in a child’s cognitive, social, emotional, and academic development. Among all early skills, learning to read at a young age is one of the most impactful.

Initiatives like Read Ready help nurture these skills by making reading engaging, interactive, and rewarding. By integrating early learning with technology, our application enables and motivates young learners to master a comprehensive list of over 300 sight words - including basic, high-frequency words that help build early literacy skills by memorizing words that don't always follow standard phonetic rules.


These Level 1 and Level 2 sight words are designed to give young readers a foundation for fluency and comprehension. Many of these words are essential for constructing basic sentences, understanding early reader books, and are commonly taught in early literacy programs.
