Ready Set Learn! is a preschool block that aired on TLC/The Learning Channel from December 28, 1992 to September 26, 2008 and Discovery Kids from October 7, 1996 to October 8, 2010.

The block was initially hosted by children's entertainer Rory Zuckerman, who was billed as simply "Rory". In 1996, Discovery Kids began to air its series in its schedule upon its launch as one of the first digital cable networks.

On February 24, 2003, Ready Set Learn introduced Paz the Penguin, who was seen in the block's official logo. The block aired for the last time on TLC on September 26, 2008, and it was replaced with reruns of regular TLC programming three days later.

On October 10, 2010, Discovery Kids was rebranded as The Hub (now Discovery Family) as a joint venture with toy maker Hasbro, and the Ready Set Learn block was rebranded with new series as HubBub the following day; it lasted until 2011.
