Kindergarten Readiness

Kindergarten Readiness (KR), as Measured by the Kindergarten Readiness Assessment – Language and Literacy (KRA-LL), is the result of an array of individual, family and socioenvironmental factors. The KRA is administered to all kindergarten students at the beginning of the school year and is a strong predictor of 3rd grade reading proficiency. Research shows that kindergarten-ready children are more likely to experience future academic success, reduce risk of dropout and even increased involvement in physical activity.
