During the questionnaire, write down on the piece of paper all the answers of your child, and after a while evaluate them. So, if the kid fully and correctly answered any question, except those listed under the numbers 5, 8, 15, 16, 22, he receives 1 point. If on any of these questions the child gave a correct but not complete answer, he should get 0.5 points. In particular, if the future first-grader could not fully specify his mother's full name, but said only "Mamma's name is Tanya," he gave an incomplete answer, and only 0.5 points are assigned to him.
When assessing the answers to questions No. 5, 8, 15, 16 and 22, the following should be taken into account:
- № 5 - if the kid confidently answers how old he is and how long he will be after a while, he gets 1 point, but if he can specify exactly how many months remain before his next birthday, he should be awarded 3 points;
- № 8 - if the child can fully give his home address with the indication of the city and the index, he should get 2 points;
- No. 15 - for the correct explanation of each of these professions the child must be awarded one point each;
- № 16 - if the child correctly indicates the purpose of each of the items, he receives 3 points at once;
No. 22 - for the correct answer to this question the future first grader gets 2 points. If he answered wrongly, he does not receive anything.
After evaluating all the answers received, you need to calculate the amount of points that will indicate whether your child is ready to go to school. So, if in the end he received more than 25 points, the baby is fully ready for the transition to a new standard of living. If the final score is 20-24 points, the readiness of your child is at an average level. If the child has not received 20 points, he is not ready for school, and it is necessary to carefully deal with it.
