GLENDALE,\u00a0Calif.,\u00a0April 21, 2016 \u2013\u00a0Recognized as the No. 1 digital learning resource for young children, the award-winning\u00a0ABCmouse.com<\/a>\u00a0Early Learning Academy<\/em>\u00a0has become a trusted curriculum for millions of parents and more than 65,000 teachers across the United States. To further support families and early childhood educators in preparing children for kindergarten, Age of Learning, Inc., the creator of ABCmouse, today released an unprecedented, comprehensive analysis of Kindergarten Readiness standards across all 50 states. The Kindergarten Readiness Report, available at\u00a0www.ageoflearning.com\/KR<\/a>, reveals substantial common ground among state Kindergarten Readiness standards, with 15 specific skills that 85 percent or more of states would like to see children acquire before entering kindergarten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on the common standards identified in the Kindergarten Readiness Report, Age of Learning has developed and today also announced the launch of an in-depth Kindergarten Readiness assessment, which parents can use with the ABCmouse curriculum to help better prepare children for kindergarten. With more than 7,000 learning activities and 650 lessons, ABCmouse is available on computers, tablets, and smartphones and is used by millions of children at home, in more than 65,000 U.S. classrooms, and in more than one third of all U.S. public libraries.\u00a0Large-scale research studies assessing the effectiveness of ABCmouse<\/a>\u00a0have concluded that ABCmouse accelerates learning and helps children make significant gains in early literacy and math skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Available in a new ABCmouse Assessment Center, the easy-to-use Kindergarten Readiness assessment was developed with guidance from the leading education and assessment research organization\u00a0SRI International<\/a>, and from the independent research institution\u00a0NORC at the University of Chicago<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Academic areas covered in the assessment include Language, Literacy, and Math\u2014domains in which 100 percent of the 50 states have established specific Kindergarten Readiness standards.
