Getting Ready for K-3rd Guides
New! Get Georgia Reading At Home has expanded the Getting Ready Guides to include activities for parents and caregivers to do with students at home.

As part of Georgia Home Classroom, the Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE) has identified key skills for children getting ready for kindergarten through third grade. These skills will help families understand what children have already learned and can expect to learn when they get back to school.

The Getting Ready Guides are available in English and Spanish to view and download. For activities ideas to practice the skills, go to https://www.gpb.org/education/learn/getting-ready
