Kindergarten Readiness Skills October Assessment
Early Childhood I and II students will use the Kindergarten Readiness Skills packet to evaluate the preschoolers knowledge in October. These scores will be compared to the scores at the end of the year in May.
ECE students may not prompt or help the child in any way. If a child does not answer correctly, don’t say anything , do NOT correct him/her, say the correct answer, etc. – just move right on to the next thing.
Teacher: Please put the child’s name, your name, and the date in the box on the bottom of each page that you test.

Writing the Numbers One Through Five
Ask the preschooler to write the numbers one through five. If he/she writes a number backwards, that is fine – that is NOT a sign of dyslexia until a much older age! If he/she cannot write one or more of the numbers, that is fine. If he/she can write numbers to ten, that is fine – he/she may keep on going up to ten.

Counting Out Loud to 20Ask the preschooler to count out loud to 20 while you quickly record his/her answers in the space below. If he/she gets the numbers out of order, do not correct him/her – write it down exactly as he/she says it.

Beginning SoundsAsk the preschooler to tell you what the picture/letter is, and then ask him/her to make the SOUND of that object. (It is OK to tell him/her what the object is if he/she is not sure what it is.) For example, the beginning sound of the word “rain “would be “ruh”. If he/she makes the correct beginning sound, circle that letter.
