Report Card WaKids 2011-12 School Year

WaKIDS, the Washington Kindergarten Inventory of Developing Skills, includes an assessment that is administered during the first two months of kindergarten. Teachers observe students across six areas of development and learning; Social-Emotional, Physical, Language, Cognitive, Literacy and Math. While the only requirement for kindergarten is to be five years of age by August 31, children who demonstrate readiness in all six areas have a greater likelihood of success in kindergarten and beyond.
