With my oldest daughter about to enter kindergarten this Fall, I’m constantly thinking about it… and wondering if she’s ready. No matter how much we do, no matter how prepared I think we are, I don’t know. I hope she’s ready, but I tend to worry about such things. Now it’s on my mind once more, as some news hit my inbox from Lakeshore Learning, who will release a new series of games called the Are You Ready? Game Show on April 15.. This series is aimed at helping kids Kindergarten through Fifth Grade prevent summer learning loss, while helping their grownups be aware of what skill areas need work. Check out the video below…

“Our Are You Ready? Game Shows were created to help prepare children for the upcoming school year. According to the National Summer Learning Association, students can lose over two months of grade-level equivalency during summer—so we’re thrilled to be offering parents games that pinpoint important skills, prevent summer learning loss and are fun for their kids to play.”Patti Rommel, Lakeshore’s Director of Research & Development.

Are You Ready? Game Shows:

Developed by Lakeshore’s team of expert teachers, these new games target the most essential math and language skills needed for success in kindergarten through 5th grade—while keeping kids incredibly engaged as they take on the exciting role of game-show contestants. Each Are You Ready? Game Show® comes packed with six different games that put children’s skills to the test as they answer questions, earn pretend cash and win cool rewards.

Included with each game is a free online assessment that shows parents the exact skills their child may need to work on. Parents simply enter the game results on Lakeshore’s website, and they instantly receive free printable activities that target the skills their child needs to polish before the new school year begins. As an added bonus, Lakeshore also provides product suggestions aligned to those skills for even deeper levels of support.
