# The Parent Experience

The Ready4K program is based on [leading research](https://ready4k.parentpowered.com/research.html) that children experience **2+ months additional growth** when their caregivers receive simple, specific activities that fit easily into their everyday routines.

1. **Easy to Implement**  
   You provide 3 pieces of information: caregiver phone number, child name, and child age or grade. Ready4K takes it from there.
2. **Messages Begin Engaging Families**  
   Every week, each enrolled caregiver gets 3 Ready4K messages - a Fact, Tip, and Growth message differentiated for their child.
3. **Parents Get a Whole Curriculum  in 45-Second Texts**  
   Each message is carefully crafted and sequenced to create a holistic curriculum that integrates SEL and academic learning.  
   Your program can include the [Ready4K Core](https://mailchi.mp/ready4k/spark?vgo_ee=LRRV6glqIfcVPcYsJBrMHi%2FZD%2BmsUFpJrc5fHf6IoVE%3D#Core), [Trauma-Informed](https://mailchi.mp/ready4k/spark?vgo_ee=LRRV6glqIfcVPcYsJBrMHi%2FZD%2BmsUFpJrc5fHf6IoVE%3D#Trauma-Informed),  or [Personalized Learning](https://mailchi.mp/ready4k/spark?vgo_ee=LRRV6glqIfcVPcYsJBrMHi%2FZD%2BmsUFpJrc5fHf6IoVE%3D#Personalized) curriculum
4. **Your Program Reaches All Families**  
   Accessibility is paramount, so every message is delivered through the most commonly used format available: text messaging.
   
   98% of adults use text and it has a 400% greater open rate than email.(York & Loeb, 2014) One step at a time: The effects of an early literacy text messaging program for parents of preschoolers ([Source](https://ready4k.parentpowered.com/research.html))
