Abstract: Ready for Kindergarten! Survey (R4K!S) is a readiness assessment of children entering kindergarten about students' knowledge and skills within the first six to ten weeks of school. There are many interpretations of what constitutes "readiness." Vermont's concept of children's readiness is multidimensional; it includes social and emotional development, communication, physical health, as well as cognitive development, knowledge, and approaches to learning (e.g., enthusiasm for learning, persistence, curiosity). Vermont's concept also reflects the belief that "school readiness" is interactional: children need to be ready for schools, and schools need to be ready to accommodate the diverse needs of children. The R4K!S consists of 34 items across the following domains: (1) Physical Development and Health; (2) Social and Emotional Development; (3) Approaches to Learning; (4) Communication; and (5) Cognitive Development. Kindergarten teachers are required to rate each child's skills as "beginning," "practicing," or "performing independently" on 28 items in addition to six additional questions related to health and well-being.
