Let’s Build a Brighter Future for Your Community, Together.

The Read Ready Network provides a proven, scalable framework to measurably improve early literacy and kindergarten readiness, creating a city of confident learners and future leaders.

THE CHALLENGE:

A Gap Between
a Child’s Potential
and Their Preparation

Across the Commonwealth, communities are rich with programs and passionate educators. Yet, kindergarten readiness scores have remained stagnant or even declined. The problem isn’t a lack of resources, but a lack of coordination. Families struggle to navigate a fragmented system, and cities miss the opportunity to leverage their collective strength. This gap impacts not just our schools, but the long-term economic health and vitality of our communities.

THE SOLUTION

A Blueprint for Collective Impact

The Read Ready Network is a comprehensive, city-wide early literacy initiative that closes this gap. We don’t replace existing programs; we unite them. Our model provides the collaborative framework and powerful tools needed to surround every child with opportunities to learn. Your community or organization can join our network, as we partner with selected communities to ensure dedicated support and a clear path to measurable success.

UNIVERSAL ACCESS

We offer essential, foundational resources for all families, including free book subscriptions, library cards, parenting tips, and digital learning tools for early brain development.

Community-Wide Adventures

We host fun, free, and engaging local activities to encourage learning, including story times, music and movement, and pop-up learning spaces.

A Collaborative Network

We collaborate with a comprehensive network of partners, including healthcare providers, libraries, and city partners, to wrap families and children in support.

“In our district, there was a time when our kindergarten readiness numbers were right around 27%. I’m proud to say right now that those numbers last year were above 70%.”

“It’s never too early to start developing reading skills, and in Bellevue, we believe it takes the whole community to make that happen. When our schools, local businesses, and organizations come together, we can help every child succeed in school and open doors for them to dream bigger and create the best future possible. This effort, led by Educate NKY, shows what’s possible when we all pull in the same direction.”

“I’m excited about kindergarten readiness, because we have to get our kids ready to learn before they set foot in a teacher’s classroom. I always said as a principal, every one of my teachers can grow kids by a year or more, but when they are coming more and more behind, it’s really difficult to get them started. So, this commitment is a powerful way to build our community, and I’m very hopeful for the future.”
