The Launchpad curriculum developed by Really Great Reading is designed to be implemented the year before kindergarten. The lessons provide playful, developmentally appropriate, targeted instruction in: Oral Language Development, Concepts of Print, Instructional Vocabulary, Alphabet Knowledge, Phonological Awareness and Phonemic Awareness.

Lessons are designed to be 15-20 minutes a day. These lessons can be broken down into smaller blocks of time throughout the day.

Launchpad includes 6 hours of asynchronous professional development before implementation and 3 additional hours after 14 weeks of instruction.

When programs commit to implementing Launchpad, they will receive a Launchpad technology license that includes professional development and implementation training, teacher manuals, materials to use with children, and technical assistance from regional early childhood specialists.

Participating programs must commit to completing all training and instruction and providing ADE with data upon request.
