Kindergarten Readiness

by webmaster

Starting kindergarten is a very big step for both you and your child. Many parents have anxiety and sometimes question whether or not their child is ready. One way to help ease this concern is to reference a kindergarten readiness checklist. With help from familyeducation.com, we have provided below, a checklist to see what skills may be expected from your child as they enter the kindergarten class.  Using this list, you can determine which skills your child has achieved and which ones they still need to work on. Kindergarten Readiness Checklist
  • Listen to stories without interrupting
  • Recognize rhyming sounds
  • Pay attention for short periods of time to adult-directed tasks
  • Understand actions have both causes and effects
  • Show understanding of general times of day
  • Cut with scissors
  • Trace basic shapes
  • Begin to share with others
  • Start to follow rules
  • Be able to recognize authority
  • Manage bathroom needs
  • Button shirts, pants, coats, and zip up zippers
  • Begin to control oneself
  • Separate from parents without being upset
  • Speak understandably
  • Talk in complete sentences of five to six words
  • Look at pictures and then tell stories
  • Identify rhyming words
  • Identify the beginning sound of some words
  • Identify some alphabet letters
  • Recognize some common sight words like "stop"
  • Sort similar objects by color, size, and shape
  • Recognize groups of one, two, three, four, and five objects
  • Count to ten
  • Bounce a ball
If your child has acquired most of the skills on this checklist and will be at least four years old at the start of the summer before he or she starts kindergarten, he or she is probably ready for kindergarten. What teachers want to see on the first day of school are children who are healthy, mature, capable, and eager to learn. Don’t have all of the items checked off just yet?
