Through a special partnership between the Tennessee Department of Education and the Governor’s
Early Literacy Foundation (GELF), starting in January, our district is excited to offer Macon County  pre‐K through 3rd families free access to Ready4K, a research‐based text messaging program, that will help you continue your child’s learning at home.
Families are juggling a lot right now, and on top of that, you are working hard to help your children keep
learning despite an unprecedented year. We are excited about Read4K because it provides a unique and
simple opportunity for you to help support your child’s learning:
Delivers three texts weekly with fun facts and tips to provide you with simple, engaging tips to
help your child continue to learn while at home.  
The messages match each child’s age, even if you have more than one child.  
Ready4K tips build on your daily routines, like getting dressed, bath time or preparing a meal.
We want to help bridge the gap between the classroom and the home and help ensure your child is
learning no matter where they are.

Please complete the form below for each child in your household that is PreK-3rd grade to receive these messages.
