Kindergarten Readiness Checklist

We have compiled a kindergarten readiness checklist, with the help of Icanteachmychild.com,  Education.com and Stacey Kannenberg’s book – Let’s Get Ready For Kindergarten.

With back-to-school and education on everyone’s mind, do you find yourself asking the question: “What should my preschooler know for kindergarten?

Our list covers simple academic skills your preschooler should know before entering kindergarten. Every kindergarten may look for different skills and skill levels but the list below provides a simple baseline.

Apart from personal, social and physical development, preschoolers should know the following academic skills as part of a kindergarten readiness checklist:
