Objectives: Among US children with low birth weight (LBW): (1) Determine prevalence of school readiness (being "healthy and ready to learn"); (2) Examine associations between school readiness and medical factors (special healthcare needs, birth weight), sociodemographic characteristics (child race/ethnicity, household income, parental education, household language), community supports (early intervention/special education, outside childcare, medical home, neighborhood amenities), parent factors (mental health, emotional support, family resilience), and parenting practices (bedtime, mealtime, storytelling routines; daily screentime).

Methods: We studied 1421 children 3-5 years with birth weight <2500g from the 2016-19 National Survey of Children's Health. We calculated prevalence of school readiness overall and in individual domains (early learning skills, physical health/motor development, social emotional development, self-regulation).
