The Agency of Education’s Ready for Kindergarten! Survey (R4K!S) is a readiness assessment of a kindergarten student’s knowledge and skills within the first six to 10 weeks of school. Kindergarten teachers assess students on 34 items across the following domains: Physical Development and Health, Social and Emotional Development, Approaches to Learning, Communication, and Cognitive Development. The data can help kindergarten teachers, schools, school boards, families, and early childhood partners assess student strengths and challenges.
The chart below shows the percentage of all kindergarten students identified as “ready” by school year.
