90000 Ready for Kindergarten? | Scholastic 90001 90002 If your child’s preschool years are coming to an end, your thoughts are probably turning toward kindergarten. But is your child ready to move on to the «big» school? What skills do kindergarten teachers expect their new students to have? To help answer those questions (and ease your mind), we’ve asked highly regarded kindergarten teachers from around the country to share their insights on helping your child gain the right mix of kindergarten-readiness skills.90003 90002 The skill sets they are looking for might surprise you. Because of the national focus on improving education and meeting standards, you might think that it’s most important for children to enter kindergarten knowing their ABCs, numbers, shapes, and colors so they can keep up with the curriculum. While teachers would love children to come in with some letter and number recognition, they do not want you to drill your kids on academic skills. There are equally — if not more — important readiness skills that set the stage for your child’s learning.Raising an eager learner is the goal, and it can be achieved easily through play and day-to-day activities. 90003 90002 What follows are the top readiness skills that kindergarten teachers look for. 90003 90002 90009 Enthusiasm Toward Learning 90010 90011 «I look for those qualities that prime children to be successful in school,» says Kim Hughes. Does the child approach learning enthusiastically? Is she eager to explore and discover? Does she ask questions, take initiative, and persist when tasks are difficult? 90003 90002 «Parents can set aside a little time each day to investigate the world with their preschooler and answer those endless questions,» says Sandra Waite-Stupiansky.As you drive or walk along in the park, point out your child’s surroundings — the different trees or the various birds at the feeder. Demonstrate how things work. «You’ll help your child develop beginning science skills — the ability to form a hypothesis, test it out, and come up with new questions and theories,» Waite-Stupiansky explains. «The more kids notice, the more curious they’ll become. And we’ll be building on that curiosity in kindergarten.» 90003 90002 90009 Solid Oral-Language Skills 90010 90011 «Children need wide background knowledge about their world and the words to go with it,» says Lisa Mosier.»I want to know where they’ve been and what they can talk about.» You can help build language skills by taking your child to many new places and giving him words and descriptions for what he is seeing. At the zoo, explain, «There’s a tiger. See how he has stripes and looks different from the lion?» Mosier says these experiences have a huge impact on literacy. «If you’re reading a book about zoo animals and it says ‘Look at the tiger,’ and you can not tell the difference between a lion and a tiger, then you will not have the background knowledge to help you tackle the word.When children come to words that they do not know, they will not be able to make a good guess because it is not in their vocabulary. «90003 90002 Research shows that one of the best predictors of later reading success is a well-developed oral vocabulary in kindergarten. «PreK kids are learning vocabulary at the rate of five to six words a day,» says Waite-Stupiansky. «It’s just amazing how they will retain words if you use them several times in context and conversation.» 90003 90002 90009 The Ability to Listen 90010 90011 Children’s literature is a rich resource for expanding language.»We expect parents to be reading to kids every day,» says Jayne C. Isaacs. «I can tell which children have been glued to the TV or computer for hours at a time. When we read them a story and ask them to tell us in their own words what they liked or remembered, they’re unable to do so. » Besides fostering vocabulary and comprehension, reading develops the attention skills necessary in a kindergarten classroom. «Listening is a key part of school behavior,» Isaacs notes. Students must be able to concentrate on what the teacher is saying, listen carefully for directions, and tune in to the sounds in letters and words.90003 90002 «The more animated you are as you read, the better you’ll focus your child’s attention on what she’s hearing,» says Armando Argandona. Use different voices for the characters. Promote critical thinking by asking questions like, «Why do you think that happened?» and «How would you feel if that happened to you?» and «What do you think will happen next?» Engage kids by inviting them to clap or stomp when they hear a rhyming word, and letting them finish sentences in familiar stories. Books with rhyme and repetitive refrains (like those by Mother Goose and Dr.Seuss) help kids predict what’s coming and detect consonant sounds at the beginning and end of words, which fosters phonemic awareness-the ability to hear and break down the subtle sounds in words. Your child will not be able to read the word «cat» until she understands that it actually has three sounds: «cuh,» «ah,» and «tuh.» 90003 90002 Singing fosters pre-reading skills too. «Take turns substituting new sounds in nursery rhymes and songs,» suggests Mosier. For example, transform «Twinkle Twinkle Little Star» to «Dinkle Dinkle Dittle Dar» or «Zippety Doo Da» to «Bibbety Boo Bah.»90003 90002 90009 The Desire to Be Independent 90010 90011 Encouraging self-help skills is an important step to preparing your child for kindergarten. «It’s amazing how many kids come to kindergarten not knowing how to hang up a jacket,» says Argandona. It might be quicker for you to do it, but «independence is critical for helping your child adjust to school,» he emphasizes. Teachers expect children to: 90003 90036 90037 Get coats on and off and hang them up 90038 90037 Follow simple two-step instructions such as «take off your boots and put on your sneakers» 90038 90037 Go to the bathroom and wash their hands 90038 90037 Blow their nose and cover their mouth when they cough 90038 90037 Fasten and unfasten simple buttons and snaps 90038 90037 Eat neatly and pour into a cup 90038 90037 Open up a juice box and get the straw in.90038 90051 90002 «Some children are so dependent on their parents that they expect the teacher to do these things for them,» says Hughes. «But when you have 20-plus kids in the room, it’s hard to worry about wiping noses!» However, she notes that tying shoes is a developmental skill that often does not come until the first grade. If kids can not yet tie their shoes, Hughes suggests sending them in slip-ons or sneakers with Velcro fasteners. 90003 90002 90009 The Ability to Play Well with Others 90010 90011 Your child will need your assistance refining essential social skills such as sharing, compromising, turn-taking, and problem-solving.»Children are naturally egocentric at this age, and we do not expect them to be able to share everything,» says Waite-Stupiansky. «But by the time they reach kindergarten, they should be able to express their feelings in words and begin to understand that two people can use the same thing at the same time.» 90003 90002 If you and your child are building with blocks and he reaches for one you’re using, Hughes suggests you first encourage your child to ask, «May I have the block?» Then model sharing by saying something like, «I’m glad to share my block with you.»When you notice your child sharing with others, celebrate it by saying,» I’m so proud of you. It’s really hard to share your favorite doll, but you were able to do it. Good for you! «90003 90002 On play dates and park outings, stay within earshot so you can help kids problem-solve when conflict occurs, Hughes recommends. If your son gets in a power struggle over a toy and can not seem to work it out, step in and say, «It looks like we’re having a problem here. What can we do about it?» Encourage him to come up with possible solutions, offering your own suggestions, if necessary.»Help kids understand the feelings of others,» says Hughes. «I want them to know when a friend is sad by looking at her face and seeing that her mouth is frowning or her eyes are crying.» This nurtures compassion and empathy, values ​​that are prized by kindergarten teachers. 90003 90002 90009 Strong Fine-Motor Skills 90010 90003 90002 Your child’s hands must be strong enough to master coloring, cutting, pasting, and holding a pencil — fine-motor tasks that kids use every day in kindergarten.»By week one, we’re already writing a letter of the alphabet,» says Argandona. «If kids can not hold the pencil correctly, they will fall behind.» 90003 90002 To hold the pencil the right way, kids need to develop the small muscles in their palms and fingers. Hughes suggests giving your child a pipe cleaner and some Cheerios (or similar, colorful cereal) to make bracelets. «It requires you to pinch with your fingers,» she explains, the same motion needed for grasping a pencil. Or ask your preschooler to mist your houseplants with a spray bottle, an activity that boosts both writing and scissor skills.Scribbling in clay with fingers is a fun alternative to doing it on paper and especially helpful for kids who are resistant to writing and drawing. (A child can practice cutting the clay into small strips too.) 90003 90002 «Offer writing utensils in a variety of sizes and shapes,» advises Hughes. «Some people think that fat pencils are easier to hold, but that’s not always true. For a child with weak hands, a smaller, shorter pencil might be easier to manage.» 90003 90002 90009 Basic Letter and Number Recognition 90010 90011 Kindergarten teachers believe that it is their responsibility to teach kids letter sounds and how to write, but they do hope incoming students can recognize most letters by sight.They also hope children can count to 10, identify numbers 1 to 5, and know some shapes and colors. 90003 90002 But teachers do not want you to quiz your child or use workbooks, flashcards, or phonics kits. «So much learning can happen without quizzing or sitting down with a pencil,» says Isaacs. The lessons unfold naturally as you and your child sort Legos by color or shape. Your daughter practices counting as she doles out pretend cookies for the dolls in her tea party. Your son builds letter recognition while scrambling alphabet magnets on the fridge.90003 90002 «Every outing is a spontaneous opportunity to learn,» Isaacs adds. Play guessing games like, «I spy with my little eye something with the number 3.» 90003 90002 Teach by «immersion» and «show kids how letters are all around us,» says Mosier. «Say, ‘Hey, that spells K-Mart. Let’s spell it together. K-M-A-R-T.'» Point out objects that contain the letters in your child’s name. 90003 90002 Most important, always keep the focus on fun. «Relax, and enjoy your children,» Mosier says. «Read, play, and go places.And talk the whole time you’re doing it! «90003 90002 90009 Meet the Teachers 90010 90003 90002 90091 Armando Argandona 90092 has been teaching for 25 years. He is president-elect of the California Kindergarten Association and a master teacher for California State University at Domingus Hills. He teaches kindergarten at the Ford Boulevard School in East Los Angeles, CA. 90003 90002 90091 Kim Hughes 90092 has been teaching PreK and kindergarten for 21 years. She serves on the Governing Board of the National Association for the Education of Young Children and is a PreK / kindergarten teacher at Project Enlightenment, in Raleigh, NC.90003 90002 90091 Jayne C. Isaacs 90092 has been teaching kindergarten for 35 years and has served on her school district’s Diversity Committee and Early Intervention Committee. She teaches kindergarten at the Great Plain School in Danbury, CT. 90003 90002 90091 Lisa Mosier 90092 has been teaching 4 and 5-year-olds for 21 years. She received an award from the National Center for Learning Disabilities and currently teaches at the Frances Starms Early Childhood Center in Milwaukee, WI. 90003 90002 90091 Sandra Waite-Stupiansky 90092 has taught kindergarten for the last 8 of her 27 years as a teacher.She is co-author of several Scholastic 90091 Learning Through Play 90092 books and teaches kindergarten at Edinboro University’s Miller Laboratory School in Edinboro, PA. 90003 .90000 When should kids start kindergarten? 90001 90002 This fall, 4-year-old Luke will be starting kindergarten in Centerville, Ohio. He’ll be one of the youngest in his class — turning 5 just before the school year begins — and his mother is concerned. 90003 90002 Historically, the starting age for kindergarten has varied widely. In the past five years, both states and districts have pushed the minimum age to start kindergarten up so that more and more kids are at least 5 years old when they start school.(See minimum Kindergarten entrance ages for all states as of 2014.) Still, in states such as Connecticut and Maine (and certain districts in Ohio, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Jersey, and other states), you can easily find a 4½-year -old and a 6½-year-old in the same kindergarten class. That’s exactly what worries Luke’s mom, Deb Nelson, who has seen the difference just a few months can make, whether at home with her three sons ages 6, 4, and 3 or at school with the kids in her older son’s kindergarten class.Some kids are ready to read and write; others have trouble sitting still and paying attention. Being younger is particularly problematic as kindergarten becomes increasingly academic. 90003 90002 Delaying kindergarten is on the rise, both because state minimum ages are higher and because some parents are opting to wait until their children are older to start school. According to the most recent data available from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), in the 2010-2011 school year only 6 percent of kids started kindergarten at age 4, 42 percent of kids were between 5 and 5½, 43 percent were between 5½ and 6 years old — and more than 9 percent of kids starting kindergarten had already turned 6.But will this benefit or hurt children in the long run? Educators and parents are wondering just that, as they weigh the potential risks of starting kids in kindergarten when they’re either much younger or much older than other kids in their class. 90003 90008 Why redshirt? 90009 90002 Nelson’s not only worried about kindergarten. «It’s junior high,» she says. «I do not want him to be 11 when everyone else is turning 12 and have him be practically a year behind everybody in sixth or seventh grade.»Both concerns — for a child’s success in kindergarten and through adolescence — are driving forces behind the popular practice of» redshirting, «or delaying a child’s kindergarten entry by a year or more. (The term is borrowed from collegiate sports, where athletes will practice with the team for the first year, but sit out competition while they get bigger, stronger, and more competitive.) 90003 90002 Parents typically hold a child back because they feel he isn ‘t ready — cognitively, socially, or emotionally.Others may want to give their child a leg up, on the assumption that being older will make him more advanced. «In a lot of circles, it’s become the fad,» says Gary Painter, an associate professor at USC’s School of Policy, Planning, and Development, who authored a paper on redshirting. «Particularly in upper-middle-class circles where parents want to give their children every advantage, and want their kids to be ahead of their peers.» 90003 90002 The NCES data backs up Painter’s assertion. Of the roughly 6 percent of children clearly designated as «delayed-entry kindergartners,» parents tended to have at least a bachelor’s degree, and their family incomes tended to be well above the poverty line.90003 90008 Does redshirting make a difference? 90009 90002 Short term, the results for redshirted kindergartners are promising. According to the 2010-2011 NCES data, redshirted children scored slightly higher on reading and math scores both at the beginning and end of the year compared to kids who started kindergarten at 5 or younger. However, the difference is slight, and there is not yet any data on the long-term effects. 90003 90002 Painter’s work, on the other hand, is based on a longitudinal study that looked at academic and social outcomes of delayed kindergarten entry over the course of about 20 years.He followed children starting at age 4 or 5 through age 25 or 26. Incredibly, he found no academic or social benefit to redshirting (The one exception? Varsity football.) In fact, he found a small benefit to being younger in terms of slightly higher college attendance rates. But is Painter’s information, which is necessarily old (his subjects are now all in their 30s), on target? «There’s other research out there from here and abroad that finds older kids do slightly better than younger kids while they’re in school,» Painter says.»We need to keep a close eye on it.» 90003 90002 Overall, research on has found mostly unfavorable results for being older than your grade-level peers, including academic achievement that disappears in later grades and an increase in social and behavioral problems in adolescence, when being older (or different in any way) can create problems. But much of this data is old, and, in many cases, linked to studies on grade retention, which is likely more of a social stigma for a child than starting kindergarten later.90003 90008 Mixed results 90009 90002 A Canadian study suggests that redshirting can have positive academic outcomes, including a reduced chance that the child will repeat the third grade and in tenth grade improved math and reading scores. According to this study by the NBER, the effects are highest for boys (who are more often redshirted) and low-income students. Additionally, the researchers ‘estimates suggest that not only is delayed kindergarten better, but starting too early may have negative consequences for kids.90003 90002 Given these mixed findings, redshirting clearly needs more study, especially since the average age of kindergartners is on the rise. In the past 40 years, scores of states have raised their kindergarten cut-off dates. In 1975, only nine states required that kids be 5 when they start kindergarten. By 2014 року, 32 states had that requirement, with 11 more requiring that kids turn 5 by mid-October the year they start kindergarten. 90003 90008 Ready or not 90009 90002 In the meantime, it’s up to parents to determine their child’s kindergarten readiness on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration social and emotional readiness, as well as cognitive ability.For many parents, evaluating a child’s kindergarten readiness is not easy. Former preschool teacher Tracy Gibb delayed her son’s kindergarten entrance because he was immature socially. «I’ve worked with kindergarten teachers for many years, and what they want are kids who can sit still and behave themselves well enough to learn, rather than a child who understands what’s going on but is a discipline problem because he’s too young to handle the responsibility of kindergarten, «she wrote in an email.Now, she thinks her 11-year-old son is on a par with his fifth grade peers emotionally. «This is a decision I have never regretted.» 90003 90002 When 4-year-old Delilah’s preschool teachers suggested she might not be ready for kindergarten, her mother, Los Angeles-based songwriter and music teacher Deborah Poppink Hirshland, was impressed with how the teachers explained their conclusion. In kindergarten, they told her, there are a lot of three-step processes, such as get a piece of paper, draw a shape on it, then cut out the shape.»Delilah went to the teacher after every step to ask what to do next,» Poppink Hirshland says. After an assessment, Poppink Hirshland learned valuable information about her bright daughter, who grew leaps and bounds thanks to occupational therapy. Now, 6-year-old Delilah is thriving in kindergarten. 90003 90002 The school Nelson’s sons attend offers a young 5s program for kids who may not be kindergarten-ready. At a pre-enrollment panel discussion with four local kindergarten teachers, Nelson raised her hand and asked the all-consuming question: «When should my son start kindergarten?» 90003 90002 «One teacher said, ‘In my 35 years of teaching, I’ve never encountered anyone who wishes they had not done the young 5s program, but I’ve encountered some who wish they 90039 had 90040 done it,'» Nelson recalls.She was sold, and asked to have Luke evaluated for the program. The assessment included tests of Luke’s fine- and gross-motor skills, attention span, attention to detail, ability to follow directions, number knowledge, ability to spell his name, alphabet knowledge, color vision, and a hearing test. Luke scored high and showed no discernable deficiencies. So despite actually being a young 5-year-old, he was deemed ineligible for the program. 90003 90002 Still worried her son was not ready, Nelson went to the principal.»[The principal] said in his case, because he does not have any deficiencies and scored so high, maybe a regular classroom would be better for Luke,» recalls Nelson. Still worried for her son down the road, Nelson made plans with the principal to have Luke take kindergarten twice. «We just tell him that he gets two years of kindergarten. He does not have any feelings of being held back or retained. » 90003 90002 Yet another part of the equation with today’s high-stakes testing is that we expect more of kindergartners.Unfortunately, they’re less prepared for success. «Kindergarten is much more academic than ever,» says Emily Glickman, a Manhattan-based educational consultant. «Many people feel that kindergarten is the new first grade.» Reading expert and author of 90039 Raising Confident Readers: How to Teach Your Child to Read and Write — From Baby to Age Seven 90040 J. Richard Gentry, PhD says the problem is exacerbated by parents failing to prepare their children for reading. Nearly half our nation’s kindergartners are not set up for reading success, he says.»The big question is whether a child is ready for formal reading instruction,» says Gentry, who explains that in terms of brain development, kids are not ready to read until age 6. But starting from birth, parents need to start preparing their kids to read with «joyful literacy activities» such as reading aloud, drawing, and playing writing games. According to Gentry, too many children are not getting this kind of preparation. «About 1.5 million kids come to kindergarten and they can not write their name or retell the story of a favorite book,» he says.»They’re already behind. They’re the achievement gap. » 90003 90008 Who gets helped — and who gets hurt 90009 90002 Simply staying home and being a year older in kindergarten is not the answer. «We need to consider what the child is doing, when otherwise he would’ve been in an educational and enriching environment,» says Shane Jimerson, professor of school psychology at University of California at Santa Barbara. 90003 90002 Educational researcher Melodye Bush agrees. «It’s not good to start everyone later,» she says.»It’s not good to have everyone start at age 6. What we see is that the earlier you start [kids] learning to read and write, the better. As far as ability to retain knowledge, it’s better to start them at age 3. » Bush speculates that with time-strapped, stressed parents, «kids are not getting the necessary pre-learning they need.» 90003 90002 Both Gentry and Painter say that ultimately redshirted children from engaged, middle-class families «will not be helped, but it likely will not hurt.» But the practice puts a strain on families that do not have the resources to pay for an extra year of preschool.If these younger kids have to compete with older, better-prepared children, it will, «exacerbate the achievement gap that already exists,» Painter says. «I do not advocate that school districts ban redshirting, but it’s a caution to keep in mind.» 90003 90002 90057 Next: Kindergarten: ready or not 90058 90003 90002 Share on Pinterest 90003 90062 90002 90039 Updated: March 9, 2020 90040 90003 .90000 Pages — Kindergarten Registration 90001 90002 90003 90004 90002 Welcome to York Region District School Board 90004 90002 90008 90009 90004 90008 90009 90008 90009 90008 90009 90008 90009 90019 Starting Kindergarten is an exciting time for everyone.

You can play an important role in this wonderful journey. Here’s what kindergarten teachers want parents to know: 90003 90002 90005 1. Your job is not over when you drop your little one off at school; it has only just begun. 90006 Your child’s teacher wants to be your partner. Keep her informed about what goes on at home that might affect your child’s behavior or academic performance.Share how what she does at school affects your child at home and do so in a way that is considerate of her time. 90003 90002 90005 2. This is not your grandfather’s kindergarten. 90006 Sadly, much of what happens in kindergarten is driven by high standards and preparation for standardized tests. The expectations of what children need to know when they enter kindergarten are closer to what used to be expected in 1st grade. Find out how to support your child’s literacy journey during kindergarten with this reading roadmap, and to further boost your child’s academic skills: 90003 90002 Learn more about what to expect this year with this comprehensive guide to kindergarten.90003 90002 90005 3. Reading to your child once a day is not enough. 90006 Try to read together at least three times a day. Books are the gateway to building vocabulary, learning about print, and developing listening and early literacy skills. When you read, talk about the book. Discuss the characters and setting, make predictions, and create new endings. Point out letters and words in the text, and encourage him to recognize rhyming sounds and words and to identify beginning and ending sounds.The BOB Books: Rhyming Words boxed set is one of our favorites for early learners — and in fact, BOB Books are often the first ones kids can read on their own. 90003 90002 90005 4. Writing exploration at home is critical. 90006 Your child needs to have opportunities to use pencils, crayons, and other writing instruments as she attempts to express herself in written form. (Write and Wipe books are great for encouraging early writing skills, and they can be used over and over!). Kids begin with scribbles and lines, move on to letters and their name, and then to words and sentences.90003 90002 90005 5. The more self-control your child has, the more successful he will be in school. 90006 Children need practice in deciding how and when to express their feelings and needs, and when and if to act on impulses. Help him develop and practice these skills at home before he tests them at school, where the consequences are a loss of learning for him and for others. Books can be an incredible resource for reinforcing social emotional learning. 90003 90002 90005 6. It’s okay to make yourself known.90006 Come in. Look around. Peruse the textbooks and materials. Knowledge is power. When you know about the subjects your child is studying, you will be able to help her better and have a common understanding for discussion. Volunteering is a wonderful way to learn about what goes on at school and to show your child how much you care about what she is doing. 90003 90002 90005 7. Your child needs lots of opportunities for play outside of school. 90006 Play is the way in which he learns about himself and the people and world around him.But more often than not, play has been squeezed out of the school day. Playing both alone and in small groups helps facilitate learning and allows your child to practice skills and concepts. 90003 90002 90005 8. Homework is an opportunity for talking, sharing, and listening. 90006 Teachers give homework to extend the learning of the classroom. It is a chance for you to find out what your child is studying and how well he is grasping the skills and concepts being taught at school. Talk with your child about his homework.It shows him that you care and value what he does at school. Support his learning at home by using guided reading packs. 90003 90002 90005 9. Television and video games use up valuable playtime. 90006 Limit screen time. The hours spent with these electronic devices could otherwise be spent talking, reading, or actively learning through play. 90003 90002 90005 10. First-hand experiences are another teacher for your child. 90006 Take her to museums, the zoo, the aquarium, the library, parks, arts performances, and geographic locations such as the mountains, beach, forests, and deserts.And do it often. She’ll grasp concepts and skills better if she has experiences with the real thing. 90003 90002 90047 Continue the learning journey with these expert-approved books for beginning readers. 90048 90003 90002 90047 Want more book and reading ideas? 90048 90047 Sign up 90048 90047 for our Scholastic Parents newsletter. 90048 90003 .
