Summary:

Ready4K^TM is an evidence-based text messaging program for parents of newborns, 1-, 2-, 3-, 4- and 5-year-olds. Each week, parents receive fun facts, easy tips, and encouraging messages to support their children’s learning. The Ready4K^TM approach has been studied through three randomized controlled trials (RCTs), generally drawing on variants of this randomization site fixed effects model: literacy text messages vs. placebo texts, personalized texts vs. general text, a literacy-math-sel program vs. placebo. (Note: Parents and caregivers who graduate from LENA Start receive Ready4K^TM text messaging as a follow on to the program.)
