How to use the kindergarten readiness quiz
Kindergarten readiness is not only about letters and numbers. A child also has to separate from caregivers, understand directions, ask for help, manage lunch and bathroom routines, participate in groups, and keep going through a full school day. This kindergarten readiness quiz helps you organize those observations before the classroom transition.
Five readiness pillars
- Social: Sharing, turn-taking, and peer interaction.
- Self-care: Independence with dressing, toileting, meals, and school materials.

Kindergarten Readiness FAQ
When should we start preparing?
It's best to start focused preparation 12 months before entry. This allows time to build social-emotional skills and independence through low-pressure activities.
What if my child isn't "reading ready"?
Kindergarten is where formal reading instruction begins. What matters most is an interest in books, a rich vocabulary, and the ability to follow multi-step directions.
Can I print the readiness scorecard?
Yes. After completing the quiz, use the print button to save the result summary, domain scores, and next-step plan for school or pediatric conversations.
