  • 1.  Help! K-readiness resource?

    Posted 04-07-2020 10:36 AM
    Hello Wonderful People!
    Hope you are well. Know you are busy!

    I'm looking for a resource to share with my PreK Parents that lists/describes skills and abilities needed for Kindergarten success. 
    I have several but they're in my (no access) classroom.
    May have missed it looking in the NAEYC Store.

    Thank you!

    Hi Dominic,

    NAEYC has a a resource, "The What, Why, and How of High-Quality Schools for Kindergartners: The Guide for Families," that opens with three pages that help parents understand what their children need for Kindergarten.  Then it goes into all the things that parents need to know to understand a what high-quality kindergarten looks like. This might be useful.

    There is a similar resource called "The What, Why, and How of High-Quality Programs for Preschoolers: The Guide for Families."

    Hope this is helpful.
