What is “readiness”?
• Typically refers to the child’s attainment of
a certain set of emotional, behavioral, and
cognitive skills needed to learn, work and
function successfully in school
• Often places an undue burden on children
by expecting them to meet the
expectations of school

Perhaps we should:
• Remove the expectations from the child
and place those expectations onto the
schools families and communities.

School Readiness in WV:
a formal definitionSchool readiness is a process of assuring children have access to the best available resources prior to entering first grade. Available resources support children and their families, and focus on maximizing children’s holistic development from birth. Acknowledging that each child’s development is significantly impacted by previous experiences, school readiness also entails the capacity of schools and programs to welcome families and be prepared to serve all children effectively within the developmental domains of health and physical development, social and emotional development, language and communication, cognition and general knowledge, and individual approaches to learning.

Since each child’s degree of readiness
differs and is highly individualized,
kindergarten readiness also entails the
capacity of schools to be prepared to serve
all children effectively regardless of a child’s
individual developmental level in each of the
five developmental domains of school
readiness.

The five developmental domains of
school readiness:
