Assessing your Child's Readiness for Preschool

Video Transcript

Hi this is Ann and we’re here today to speak about readiness and assessing readiness for school. What it means is to take a checklist and sit down with your child and go over certain skills that will be tested, usually in most schools in the beginning of the school year. One of the things to talk about are shapes, it would be good if you know how to draw a circle, triangle, rectangle, square. It’s important to know position words like in and out, top – middle – bottom, next to – beside, again another important concept is right hand – left hand. These are all concepts that could easily be taught at home and mastered before you even start the school year, so again you have the heads up for the beginning of the school year when they do the assessing of testing readiness. Another concept that’s important is to go over colors, shapes and knowing the parts of a book. The beginning of a book, the ending of a book, where is the title on a book cover, the author and the illustrator. I know this sounds unbelievable, but these are some of the questions that are asked in an assessment for school readiness.
