Through a special partnership between the department and the Governor’s Early Literacy Foundation, we are excited to offer Tennessee families free access to Ready4K, a research-based text messaging program, that helps bridge the gap between classroom and home.
Ready4K delivers three texts with fun facts and tips to provide your families with simple, engaging tips to help their students continue to learn while at home. The messages match each child’s age, even if families have more than one child.
To enroll in this program, complete the form found at:
