Our website has already presented ways to test a child for the development of thinking, logic, memory, speech, etc. Now we will look at testing children preschool age, which is held immediately before entering school. Using the tests presented, you can determine your child’s readiness for learning and social adaptation in a school environment. In addition, with the help of tests you can find gaps and weak points in your child's development.
How to test children? You read the question to your child and note whether he answered correctly or not. Then you count the points and draw conclusions.
Test for a future student:
1. State your first name, last name and patronymic.
2. State the first name, last name and patronymic of your father and mother.

8. What comes first - dinner or lunch?
9. Where do you live? Give your home address.
10. What does your mom and dad do?
11. Do you like to draw? What color is this pen (pencil, grater)?
12. What time of year is it now - summer, winter, spring or autumn? Why do you think so?
13. When can you go sledding - in summer or winter?
14. Why does snow fall in winter and not in summer?
15. What does a doctor, postman, teacher do?

20. What birds do you know?
21. Who is bigger - a goat or a cow? Bee or bird? Who has more paws: a dog or a rooster?
22. Which is greater: 5 or 8; 3 or 7? Count from two to seven, from eight to three.
23. What should you do if you accidentally broke someone else’s thing?
Rating answers
For the correct answer to all questions of one item, the child receives 1 point (with the exception of control questions). For correct but incomplete answers to subquestions, the child receives 0.5 points. For example, the correct answers are: “Dad works as an engineer,” “A dog has more paws than a rooster”; incomplete answers: “Mom Tanya”, “Dad works at work.”
TO control tasks include questions 5, 8, 15,22. They are rated like this:
No. 5 - the child can calculate how old he is - 1 point, names the year taking into account the months - 3 points.
No. 8 - for a complete home address with the name of the city - 2 points, incomplete - 1 point.
No. 15 - for each correctly indicated use of school paraphernalia - 1 point.
No. 22 - for the correct answer - 2 points.
No. 16 is assessed together with No. 15 and No. 22. If in No. 15 the child scored 3 points, and in No. 16 - a positive answer, then it is considered that he has a positive motivation for learning at school.
Evaluation of results: the child received 24-29 points, he is considered school-mature,
20-24 - average maturity, 15-20 - low level of psychosocial maturity.
It is also important to know whether the child himself wants to go to school, whether he is mentally ready for work school everyday life? Testing children will help determine psychological readiness child to school, which means parents will be able to predict in advance what awaits them in the near future. In order to find out your child's opinion about entering school, we offer the following test.
A test that will help determine whether a child wants to go to school and what attracts him there:
1. If there were two schools - one with lessons in mathematics, Russian, reading, drawing, singing and physical education, and the second only with lessons in drawing, singing and physical education - which one would you choose?
2. If there were two schools - one with lessons and breaks, and the second with only breaks without lessons - which one would you choose?
3. If there were two schools, in the first one they would give points for correct answers. good grades, and in the second they would give toys and sweets for this - which one would you choose?
4. If there were two schools - in the first you can get up from your desk only with the permission of the teacher and raise your hand if you want to ask something, and in the second you can behave as you want and do what you want - which one which ones would you choose?
5. Imagine that a teacher in your class fell ill and the school principal offered to replace her with her mother or another teacher. Who would you choose?
6. If there were two schools, one would have homework assignments, but the other would not. Which one would you choose?
7. If your mother told you: “You’re still little, it’s hard for you to get up early and do your homework. kindergarten, and you will go to school in next year"Would you agree with this proposal?
8. If your mother told you: “I talked to the teacher so that she would come to our house and study with you. Now you won’t have to go to school,” would you agree with this proposal?
9. If your friend (girlfriend) asked what you like most about school, what would you answer him?
Analyze your child's answers. For each correct answer, 1 point is given, for each incorrect answer - 0 points. If a child scores 5 points or more, we can safely say that he is internally ready for school.
When enrolling a child in first grade, parents inevitably think about their son or daughter’s readiness to study. We will try to briefly formulate the skills and abilities that any child must have in order to enter a normal, mass school and successfully adapt to the learning process at its primary level.
So, a child entering school must:
- Be able to name yourself ( full name, patronymic, last name). Be able to fully name your mother, father, and grandmother.
- Know the seasons, the number and names of months in the year, days in the week. Know what time of year it is, what month it is, what day it is. Be able to answer questions like “When do birds fly south?”, “When is it cold and snowing?”, “On what day do people rest and not go to work?”, “At what time of year do the leaves turn yellow and fall?”, “ When do we pick mushrooms and berries?" etc.
- Be able to read (syllable by syllable) a small and very simple text of several sentences.
- Be able to write (or copy) a simple phrase. For example: “He was eating soup,” “Misha was washing the window.”
- Direct and reverse counting within twenty (1, 2...20; 20, 19...1).
- Be able to add and subtract numbers within the first ten.
- Possess the skill of generalization based on characteristics. That is, from the proposed pictures, the child should be able to choose those that have something in common. For example, if pictures with a tram, a wheel, an apple, a cat and a bus are offered, then the child should put the tram and bus aside and say that these are transport or means of transportation, or “people ride on them.” If a number of words are offered: “shoes, boots, slippers,” then the child must choose a word that applies to them all. In this case, the word is "shoes".
- Possess the skill of exclusion from the series. A number of words are suggested: “cheese, butter, plasticine, sausage.” The child must not only exclude the “superfluous” word “plasticine”, but also (most importantly!) explain why it is he who is superfluous. “Plasticine is superfluous because it is used to mold. It is inedible. And everything else is food. It is eaten.”
- Find similarities and differences between objects.
- What do carrots and potatoes have in common?
- They are both vegetables, they are eaten, they are used to make soup, they grow in the ground, they have peels, etc.
- How are they different from each other?
- They differ in shape. The carrots are triangular, and the potatoes are round or oval. They also differ in color. The carrots are orange and the potatoes are brown.
- Be able to compose a story based on a picture or a series of pictures. In some schools, children are asked to first arrange the pictures in in the right order, and then tell a story based on them. The story must be coherent, have a beginning and an end. At least a mention of emotional state characters (“In this picture the girl is sad because her ball flew away”, “The boy was very offended”, “The children were happy that a slide was built for them”, etc.)
- Know the basic geometric shapes (circle, oval, triangle, square, rectangle) and see their combinations (in this picture there are two triangles and one square). Be able to draw them.
- Remember 5-7 out of 10 clearly named simple words.
- Remember and name at least six of 12 pictures simultaneously shown to the child for 30 seconds.
- Be able to recite a short poem by heart at the teacher’s request.
- Be able to answer questions like “What comes first: lunch or dinner? Spring or summer?”, “Who is bigger: a cow or a goat? A bird or a bee?”, “A cow has a calf. And a horse?”
- Know 10-12 primary colors.
- Be able to draw a human figure with all the main parts of the body (including neck, fingers, etc.).
Most schools do not currently test for admission. There are also such educational institutions, for whom this list of skills and abilities will be too short or simple. What we have listed - basic level: if it is, it means that the child is, in principle, able to study and master the primary school curriculum.
Discussion
I’m embarrassed to ask what they will teach in first grade if the children know and can do it all. They bore the poor children with their preparations, instead of games they sit and learn all sorts of garbage, and then somatics rushes out of all the cracks and starts dragging them to doctors.
04/24/2017 17:37:39, crazyWe also had the same points, but they just didn’t ask us to read them. And in special In schools, testing is much more difficult, depending on the school profile. But children usually study and prepare, so it’s not difficult for them, unless, of course, the child has any ability for the profile that his parents have chosen for him)
Our school testing program turned out to be a little more complicated, i.e. point by point everything is the same, they are the same, but the tasks themselves are more difficult, for example, being able to read a text in a large paragraph and being able to retell it, but it’s true that all parents of future first-graders were warned about this after the new year and therefore there was time to prepare. We didn’t count on our own strength, all our adults work from dawn to dusk, so we immediately turned to the school preparation center. Fortunately, now this is not a problem, and there are many educational courses, so the only question is always choosing a program and how far from home they are. Well, it seems to me that the author of the article missed the point of preparing psychologically for school, but this is very important! The child is in kindergarten and the requirements are the same, but here school is new life, completely different requirements) You have to be able to listen, you have to be able to obey the teacher’s demands, be able to maintain attention and concentration for a long time, everything is different, dad and mom won’t teach you this! We specifically chose courses to prepare the child in this regard, as not surprisingly, there weren’t very many of them in Moscow, i.e. you come, talk, they completely agree with you, but seem to let you pass by... Only at the “presidential school” did they pay attention to my fears and understand that I was actually talking! So, any parents of future first-graders agree with me about the psychological component of preparation for first grade, you can keep these courses in mind!
Comment on the article "Enrolling in 1st grade: 17 questions and tasks for testing"
What should a child be able to do before going to school? School maturity test. And readiness for school is determined by the quality of the child’s adaptation to Is the child ready for school at 6 years old? What does school readiness consist of? Go to first grade at 6.5 or 7.5 years old? Psychologist's opinion.
The school is English, there were children in the class who could and who could not. Those who did not know how to teach were dealt with depending on their relationship with their parents. I think everything should be taught in school. If the child knows everything, then why will the teachers get paid?
Discussion
No need. All the same, some children will not be able to read, and still everyone will be taught the ABC book from the beginning. Mine practically couldn’t read, and it didn’t affect his academic performance in any way. The girl who read best in the class is not the first in the class in terms of academic performance.
the better he reads, the more attention he can pay to other full-fledged sciences
rather than reading the problem statement syllable by syllable
They will teach, of course, they will teach those who don’t read at all
but these are not excellent students
I know what the child has learned, but I am afraid that it is not obvious and not enough for the school. Now he is still sick for the third week, and that’s all. And I would like to know not the private opinion of a particular teacher, but objectively, according to the law, what a first-grader should know, be able to pass...
Discussion
I can only give my personal opinion. I left my eldest at home for 1st grade, we will take it at the end of the year to go to second grade.
At the beginning of the year I asked the teacher:
1. Reading - 30-40 words per minute, answer questions about the text.
2. Mathematics: addition and subtraction within 20, if Peterson - then within 100 with the transition through ten. Solving word problems: in one action (to find the sum, how much more/less, how much is left, etc.) and in two actions (Vasya has 5 pieces, Petya has 2 more, how many in total). The dm-cm relationship, the concept of a curve, straight line, segment.
3. The world around us - depending on the textbook. In general: living-non-living - difference, insects, birds, animals (mammals), fish, reptiles - general information, structure, Russia - capital, coat of arms, anthem, plants - how animals differ, types of plants.
4. Russian language: write, copy, write from dictation, vocabulary words, division into syllables, hyphenation rules, exclamations, incentives and declarative sentences, exclamatory and non-exclamatory, sentence stems, nouns, adjectives, verbs (in some programs words-objects, actions, signs), prepositions with words separately, spellings: capital letter at the beginning of a sentence, proper noun, zhi-shi, cha-scha, chu-chu, chn-chk. In some programs, related words, synonyms, antonyms. Apd.: spelling - a voiceless consonant at the end of a word, and sounds - soft-hard consonants, voiced-voiceless, vowels.
I might have made a mistake somewhere or forgotten something.
I don't owe anything. According to the Education Law of the Russian Federation, there is no certification in the 1st grade, which means there are no grounds for not transferring. Another thing is that they may put pressure on you, this is at your discretion, as your intuition tells you. And they usually don’t want to teach such people at PMPK either. I sent all those who love to teach excellent students, and now we are finishing 5th grade.
Section: Preparing for school (the child cannot read before school). Good afternoon My daughter will be 6 in a month. She doesn’t know all the letters; she doesn’t show much interest or grasp the letters on the fly.
Discussion
My daughter went to school practically unable to read (5-6 words per minute). I learned, of course, but I think that if I could read by 1st grade, 25 words per minute, it would be much easier. but unfortunately, before school, she was practically unable to read.
Section: Education, development (what a child should know in English in 1st grade). what I want to say. I'm shocked. the child at school is considered abandoned (largely due to the efforts of No tutors, no courses outside of school. What he knows / can do - reads texts (on vocabulary...
Discussion
My second-grader daughter is in her first year of English studies (Biboletova, Enjoy English). English lessons three times a week. There are no tutors, no courses outside of school. What he knows/can do - reads texts (vocabulary 50-100 words) - I buy books at Biblio Globus on Lubyanka myself (The Three Little Pigs, about a caterpillar), knows transcription, retells, freely constructs sentences based on the constructions that have been studied, talks about for themselves, family, hobbies, write essays > 15 sentences - I wrote about a friend over the weekend, come up with riddles/poems with rhymes, make and sign cards for the holidays, knows rhymes/readings.
Conference "School and additional education children "" School and additional education for children ". I understand that it is different in each school, but nevertheless - who was given what conditions? It’s really cool here: read freely and count to 20 (thank you...
Discussion
This is what will happen.
Learn to count to 20, read and write correctly.
For some reason, we believe that it won’t hurt anyone to repeat it.
And it’s better to let the child get bored than, God forbid, not have time and have to study with him already at school.
One joy is that by the end of the first grade they still begin to speed up a little...
no requirements were made, the tests were mainly on general development(memory, speech, intelligence, motor skills).
Preparing for school.. School. Child from 7 to 10. I’m afraid that I might overdo it and retrain the child. He takes everything well and quickly. Suddenly, having taught him the curriculum of the first and second grades, he will be uninterested and bored at school.
Discussion
I can say a little about what they go through in preparation for school.
Letter and sound, what's the difference? Vowels and consonants. Hard and soft consonants. Word schemes. Emphasis. Hyphenation.
Speech development. Generalization, i.e. clothes, dishes, shoes... Seasons and days of the week. Listen to the story and answer the questions. Name words from the story with some letter. Come up with words with some letters.
Mathematics. Three-dimensional and flat shapes (for example, a circle and a ball, what is the difference). Counting in twos, threes, fives and tens. Addition and subtraction, no longer than 20. Concept
They write, sometimes even in copy-books. But they color, draw, and trace more. Tasks for attention and logic. Riddles.
And if the child is weak, than more home master it, the better. Look at Natalya Pavlova’s books “Writing after the ABCs”, “Reading after the ABCs”, mathematics according to Peterson.
2. Lena, it seems to me, is the most effective option you formulated - >>Find right away the teacher TO WHOM we plan to go straight to second grade>>. It is better to come to the second grade so that something is already familiar, because the child will already spend energy to enter a new, but for other classmates, established life. If you know the teacher, know his settings, requirements, etc., that’s already half the battle.
3. About standards - as far as I know, there are no clear standards. Somewhere you only need necessary knowledge, abilities, skills and everything is decided by the teacher and head teacher, somewhere a psychologist’s conclusion is required. You need to find out at the school, city or district department of education.
And I have an even more “extreme” approach. I think it’s better to go straight to the fifth. But not at 7 years old, but later. You see, in the second grade there are children who have actually already managed to get to know each other over the course of the year, create “groups” and get involved in a certain way of life that is familiar to them. Being a “newbie” in such a class (and even having no experience in first grade) is quite difficult (IMHO). There is a risk that the child will often find himself in stressful situations. If you are strong, you will be strengthened mentally, but if you are weak?
And a child can go through the entire primary school program on his own (with his parents, with a tutor) in a year - without any problems. And then pass the exams for primary school and go straight to fifth grade. There, the children’s entire lifestyle changes dramatically, new teachers appear, and the presence of a new student in the class attracts less attention than in the second grade.
(And in order to do this not at the age of 7, but later - when the child “grows up” to the 5th grade - you can do something else for now: for example, intensively study music or something else that attracts the child.)
Tell us what your children can do by the end of first grade? What did you learn at school or even know how to do? That's a big difference. For example, my daughter read thick books at the age of 5, and after 1st grade a child should read at a speed of 50, or something, words per minute...
Discussion
And we acquired a large store of knowledge, although we went prepared.
1. Reading - now 98 words per minute (was 20). IN at the moment Reading Samodelkik.
2. Mathematics - within 100 without passing through ten (this does not apply to counting to 20). + problems in three steps with diagrams. + the concept of length (but this is more likely related to counting (1 dm is 1 ten. We didn’t ask for multiplication and don’t know, although we understand the principle (2*3 is three times 2)
3. Writing - I don’t take into account the ability to write as such. We write from dictation, + vocabulary words, + simple rules(zhi-shi, cha-sha)
As a result, we gained a lot in first grade - a large amount of knowledge. But we will still be 7. Maybe this is the reason.
Hmm, I learned, but is it all the school’s fault? I taught writing, sat, explained, analyzed each letter, practiced, so my merit is at least 80%, I am so modest :))
mathematics - nothing, she could do everything on her own even before school, half learned multiplication in company with an older friend.
the work was very good, they sewed and glued something and in general everything was fine
so it seems like nothing special

Test 2
What does the child know about school?
Determine what your child knows about school. After all, already on the first of September many questions and difficult situations will arise. For you, these childhood worries will seem like trifles, but for him - the most difficult tasks. Be prudent and help your child find a way out of future predicaments in advance, now.
Ask your child: | Compare his answers with the correct ones: |
|
|
It is important that the child answers fundamentally correctly, without further clarification.
Count the correct answers
11-14 answers: there will be no surprises for him in the school rules.
7-10 answers: not bad, but you can talk or read about school.
4-6 answers: we need to talk more about school rules and get back to the game.
1-3 answers: did you go to school yourself?
Test 3
Is the parent ready for school?
Choose the statement option that is closest to you.
- Are you and your child often late (to the theater, to a visit, to classes, to kindergarten)?
- Does the child have his own work place in the house?
- Do you consider the lack of a computer in the house to be a big disadvantage for the development of a first-grader?
- Is good book a wonderful gift for a beginning student?
- Do you find it difficult to help your child with his homework?
- Do you make sure that your child’s workplace always has well-sharpened pencils, markers, paints, drawing paper, etc.?
- Does your child always tell you about his successes and problems?
- Does the child have regular responsibilities at home?
- Does your child share with you what worries him? own initiative or only after you ask him about it?
- Have you bought (or are you just going to buy) a briefcase for your future first-grader? Do you consider his opinion when choosing a purchase?
Evaluation of survey results
(maximum number of positive answers)
- For questions No. 1,2,5,7,9,10.You tend to exaggerate the role of educational institutions in the education and upbringing of your child. Therefore, the family was not sufficiently prepared for the child to enter school. The child will most likely have difficulties in the first months of schooling, which is associated with an insufficiently developed sense of responsibility and lack of systematic work skills. The concept of order means little to your child, and this is a serious reason for the teacher’s dissatisfaction and, consequently, the first-grader’s worries. The situation is aggravated by the fact that it will be difficult for him to understand the real reason their troubles. And you are unlikely to be able to help him, since he is not used to sharing his difficulties with you.
- For questions No. 2,4,5.6,8,10.You took care of the child in advance. He developed the necessary skills for systematic work. This was facilitated by both your positive example and the child’s involvement in the life of the family. Your increased interest in his successes and grades in first grade will not be a burden for him. The child is accustomed to attention and friendly assessment of his efforts. He can distinguish a quality result from a hack job and therefore is accustomed to selecting means to achieve the desired result. Your great merit and assistance in preparation lies in the fact that you provided the child with this choice of quality tools and taught them how to use them.
- For questions No. 1,3,4,5,7,9.You didn’t really burden yourself with worries about organizing the conditions and routine of the child’s life. This is justified if the child is well adapted to the conditions of kindergarten, has good health and very inquisitive. He will most likely not have any difficulties entering school. Otherwise, there may be some difficulties associated with the lack of proper motivation to educational activities, as well as physical overload.

with a child before school...
The future student experiences a crisis of 7 years, associated not so much with objective changes in life, but with the attitude that the child experiences towards them. The easier it is to turn on educational process, the fewer reasons to enter into conflict with himself, the higher his successes and the faster adaptation occurs. This successful development of the situation means that your child was ready to learn.
A child's level of readiness for school is usually determined before entering 1st grade. The child is asked a series of questions to which he should know the answers at this age (it is assumed that at kindergarten he was given the necessary basic knowledge about color, shape, space, time, etc.). For example, these:
What is your last name, first name, patronymic?
What is the last name, first name, patronymic of your mother (father)?
What do they do?
Are you a boy or a girl? Who will you be when you grow up - an uncle or an aunt?
Do you have a brother or sister? Which one of you is the eldest?
Is it morning, afternoon or evening?
Do you have breakfast in the morning or evening?
Can you tell me your address?
What time of year is it now?
What color is this item?
Show your right eye, left ear.
When does it snow - in winter or summer?
Do you want to go to school?
Why do we need a desk and a bell at school?
What animals and birds do you know?
Who is bigger: a cow or a dog?
What does a doctor, postman, teacher do?
Which is greater: 3 or 8?
The well-known Kern-Jirasek test is also used for diagnosis. It consists of three tasks.
1. Graphic copying of a phrase, for example, “She was given tea” or “I am eating soup.”
This phrase is written in written letters on the sheet. The child does not know how to write yet, so he must simply “copy” the words. Depending on how clearly the writing is copied, 5 to 1 points are awarded (with 1 point being considered the highest). If the child already knows how to write, a phrase in a foreign language is offered.
2. Drawing a group of points.
A group of dots is drawn on a sheet of paper. The distance between them should be about 1 cm horizontally and vertically; the diameter of the dots is 2 mm. The child is given the task of drawing these dots.
The closer his work is to the model, the better. The work is scored the same way: from 5 to 1 point, where 1 point is the highest score.
3. Drawing a male figure.
The child is given the task: “Draw an uncle.” If he asks to draw an aunt, allow him to do so, but then he must definitely draw an uncle. The fact is that the analysis is carried out specifically on the male figure: the aunt can be drawn in long dress, and then the researcher does not understand whether the child means the figure has legs or not. The quality of the task is assessed in terms of the presence of all the necessary parts of the body and face, the number of fingers, and the ratio of the sizes of body parts. In addition, the drawing should be made with a continuous soft line, and not “stick-stick-cucumber”. The highest score is 1. The lowest is 5.
Then the scores for the three tasks are summed up and the level is determined mental development child, the degree of development of the eye and coordination of movements:
1-6: high level
7-11: intermediate level
12-15: low level
Questions developed by American experts and adapted for Russia will help parents independently determine their child’s readiness for school. Here are some of them.
Assessing Cognition Development:
Does the child distinguish between the concepts: right-left, big-small, does he know the letters of the alphabet?
Can he remember at least three of your instructions?
Basic Experience Rating:
Was your child with you at the post office, at the pharmacy, at the store, at the library?
Do you read together?
Does he have any hobbies?
Assessment of language development:
Can a child answer an adult’s question or tell an incident that happened to him?
Is he able to listen without interrupting?
Does he know the names of surrounding objects and their purpose?
Can he explain what is where?
Does he pronounce words clearly?
Level rating physical development:
Does he hear and see well?
How developed are coordination and motor skills? (can play ball, jump, walk up stairs)
Can you sit quietly for a while?
There are other diagnostics of a child’s readiness for school. By using them, you will be aware and will be able to prevent possible problems in the future. Knowing the weak points in your child’s development, you will strengthen them: give him the missing knowledge, help him form useful habits that will help him safely overcome the 7-year-old crisis.
Loving and caring parents They always want their child to do well at school, and that all lessons are given to him easily and simply. To ensure that the school curriculum does not turn out to be too difficult for a new student, he must be well prepared for entering first grade.
As parents prepare to enroll in school, they should monitor how well their child is developing. Today, there are many tests for six-year-old children before school, which will make sure that your child is well absorbing the necessary information, or identify existing problems and get serious about mastering them.
In this article, we bring to your attention one of these tests, with which you can understand before school and determine the level of development of your son or daughter.
Test for future first-graders before school
To assess whether your child is ready to enter school and whether he will be able to master the school curriculum, you need to ask him several questions, namely:
- State your first name, last name and patronymic.
- Give the first, last and patronymic names of your father and mother.
- Are you a boy or a girl? Who will you be when you grow up - an uncle or an aunt?
- Do you have a sister, brother? Who's older?
- How old are you? How old will you be in a year? In two years?
- Is it evening or morning (afternoon or morning)?
- When do you have breakfast - in the morning or in the evening? When do you have lunch - in the afternoon or in the morning?
- What comes first - dinner or lunch?
- Where do you live? Give your home address.
- What does your mom, your dad do?
- Do you like to draw? What color is this pen (pencil, grater)?
- What time of year is it now - summer, winter, spring or autumn? Why do you think so?
- When can you go sledding - in summer or winter?
- Why does snow fall in winter and not in summer?
- What does a doctor, a postman, a teacher do?
- Why do you need a bell, a desk, a blackboard at school?
- Do you want to go to school?
- Show me your left ear, right eye. What are ears and eyes needed for?
- What animals do you know?
- What birds do you know?
- Who is bigger - a goat or a cow? Bee or bird? Who has more paws: a dog or a rooster?
- Which is greater: 5 or 8; 3 or 7? Count from two to seven, from eight to three.
- What should you do if you accidentally broke someone else's thing?
During the survey, write down all your child’s answers on a piece of paper, and after a while, evaluate them. So, if the child fully and correctly answered any question except those listed under numbers 5, 8, 15, 16, 22, he receives 1 point. If a child gives a correct but incomplete answer to any of these questions, he should receive 0.5 points. In particular, if a future first-grader could not fully indicate his mother’s full name, but only said “Mom’s name is Tanya,” he gave an incomplete answer, and he is entitled to only 0.5 points.
When assessing answers to questions No. 5, 8, 15, 16 and 22, the following must be considered:
Having assessed all the answers received, you need to calculate the sum of points, which will indicate whether your child is ready to enter school. So, if in the end he received more than 25 points, the baby is completely ready to move to a new level of life. If the final score is 20-24 points, your child’s readiness is at an average level. If a child does not receive even 20 points, he is not ready for school, and he must be carefully studied.
