Homeschool Resources: Meet Ready, Set, LEARN!

Big news, families!! Playground Press is officially more than just fun activities and learning tools! We’re expanding into homeschool curriculum and resources for preschool, kindergarten, first grade, and second grade with our brand new Ready, Set, LEARN program!

Every parent wants to give their child the best start—but finding the right resources can feel overwhelming. That’s why we created Ready, Set, LEARN: a grab-and-go daily system that covers all the core subjects like math, phonics, sight words, writing, social studies, and science, plus seasonal crafts and fun extras. Everything is teacher-created, parent-trusted, standards-aligned, and follows a scope and sequence, so you’ll always know your child is right where they need to be!

Think of us as your new go-to hub for curated, trusted, and ready-to-go no-prep resources! Use them as your full core curriculum or as a fun, meaningful supplement to what you’re already doing at home. Either way, you’re ready to learn, play, and explore together!

They’re fun enough to keep little learners excited and rigorous enough to support real skill-building. And best of all? Our resources are ready to use the moment your child needs them! We have options you can download and print anytime, or choose pre-printed spiral-bound books that ship straight to your door and are ready to use as soon as they arrive!

Let’s break it down and give you a peek at just how much Ready, Set, LEARN is about to change your homeschool life!

Homeschool Resources You’ll Find in Ready, Set, LEARN

 

From math, science, and reading to the science of reading, morning work, alphabet practice, handwriting, dramatic play, coloring pages, fun finishers, and crafts—it’s all here. Every single resource is aligned to learning standards (yes, even for homeschool!) so you know exactly what skills your child is covering. Each set follows a monthly, seasonally relevant theme so it’s perfectly in step with what your child is experiencing and learning about that time of year!

For preschool, kindergarten, first grade, and second grade, all the monthly resources for one grade level are packaged together in what we call a Thematic Bundle! Don’t worry, you can also find each resource inside the bundle individually if you just want certain parts.

The categories of resources stay the same for every grade, but the content is tailored to be age-appropriate and developmentally aligned for that specific level.

We’ve also made these bundles super easy to organize, perfect for however you set up your home learning space! We love popping the pages into a storage bin (binders work too!) using the matching labels and organizing tools included with the Thematic Bundles! Since every resource is laid out in a week-by-week, day-by-day sequence, you can arrange everything in a simple weekly format making it a breeze to grab exactly what you need for today, tomorrow, or the whole week at a glance!

Inside a Thematic Bundle, you’ll find:

• Coloring Pages perfectly matched to each month’s theme.

• Fun Finishers like mazes, word searches, and more—great for quick brain breaks or early finisher time.

• Crafts + Craftivities (that’s a craft plus a writing activity!) that double as adorable displays for your home learning space.

• Daily Worksheets for math, reading, writing, phonics, morning work, alphabet, and handwriting—one for every day of the month.

• Dramatic Play Materials designed to match the monthly theme for imaginative, hands-on learning fun.

• Science Units tied to the same theme for seamless cross-subject learning.
  

  

Always Seasonally Relevant and Developmentally Appropriate

 

No guessing games here! Every resource intentionally follows a scope and sequence, and is matched to the skills your child is developing each month of the year. Take September, for example, you’ll find an Apple Orchard & Market dramatic play center and a Science Unit on Apple Trees which is seasonally relevant and right where each grade level is starting the year academically! Setting up a dramatic play area at home is simple and can easily tie into family outings, like a trip to the apple orchard or other fall traditions. As the months go on, the resources grow and progress right alongside your child’s learning, so you’re always moving forward together and able to make those important connections to real life experiences!
