Ready Set Leap: A Preschool Curriculum

October 7, 2008

The latest intervention report from the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) looks at Ready, Set, Leap!®, a preschool curriculum that uses multisensory technology incorporating touch, sight, and sound to teach early reading skills. This previously released report has now been updated to include reviews of two studies that have been released since 2005.Ready, Set, Leap!® can be implemented in varied settings, with children taught individually or in small groups. Teachers may adopt either a theme-based or literature-based teaching approach and each method includes lesson plans, learning objectives, and assessment tools. See how the WWC rated this intervention’s effectiveness on oral language development, print knowledge, phonological processing, early reading/writing skills, and math.
