Reading Ready Before Kindergarten
Preventing Illiteracy Before It Begins
imagineOne gives families simple, science-based tools and support to build the language and reading-ready skills children need from birth to age five.
The Path to Reading Starts Early.
The first five years are an extraordinary time of growth.
Long before children learn to read, they are building the language and communication skills that reading depends on. And much of that learning happens in simple, everyday moments with the people who love them most.
You don't need to be a teacher or reading expert to prepare your child for reading. Simple things you already do make a difference.
Families
Trusted professionals help families understand why the early years matter and how simple everyday interactions support development.
Educators & Providers
Schools, healthcare providers, libraries, civic organizations, businesses, and other community partners work together around one shared goal:
Communities
Every Child Reading Ready Before Kindergarten.
Simple Tools. Everyday Moments. Strong Foundations.
The Reading Ready System™
My First Steps to Reading®
A phonics-based, 26-book,home library that helps children and parents explore letters, sounds, words, and stories while building early literacy skills.
Reading Ready Portal™
Short videos, age-based guidance, activities, songs, and multilingual resources help parents and caregivers support their child with confidence.
Everyday Moments
Talking. Reading. Playing, Listening.
Simple interactions woven into everyday life help build language, connection, curiosity, and the foundations for reading.
We Believe Illiteracy Is Preventable
Most literacy efforts begin after a child struggles.
imagineOne starts before.
From birth to age five, children are building the language and communication skills that reading will depend on later.
That gives us an extraordinary opportunity to build strong foundations before kindergarten—and before reading difficulties begin.
We equip families, support providers and educators, and help communities work together.
Families at the Center. Community All Around Them.
Families are at the heart of reading readiness. Communities help make sure they don't have to do it alone.
