The present paper reports on the results of an effort to evaluate the Ready for Kindergarten (READY!) program as a means for improving Kindergarten readiness scores. This is the first of two studies for this project, funded by Thrive by Five Washington. It involves data gathered at the Kennewick School District (KSD) from 2005 to 2008. The second study is currently in progress at the Othello School District. A final report for the Othello study will be completed by April 2010.
