WHAT TEACHERS HAVE HAD TO SAY ABOUT THIS KINDERGARTEN READINESS ASSESSMENT:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Starting the year off with students online is challenging, but this resource allowed me to learn about my new students and their level of knowledge in some very important skills. I liked how many skills were included and how easy I could select what I wanted to assess my students on.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I found this very useful to use with children who will be entering kindergarten in the fall. It provides me with an opportunity to see where the children are and what they should be working on this summer before entering kindergarten.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great tool in assessing a few of my very low functioning secondary students.

Sometimes when I need to assess there just isn’t enough time to get it all done. This resource helps me get through it all without missing any students when we do BOY/MOY/EOY testing.

This resource was exactly what I needed! It’s well-organized, easy to use, and saved me so much prep time. My students were highly engaged and the activities aligned perfectly with our learning goals. I appreciate the clear directions and thoughtful design—it’s evident that a lot of care went into creating it. I’ll definitely be using this again and recommending it to my colleagues!

One of my favorite resources for individual work! I use this for morning work with my students, and it has been a great addition to our daily routine. The activities are engaging, easy to prep, and work really well for independent practice in my special education classroom. I love having a resource that my students can work on individually while I support other students. Definitely one I use again and again!
