I just gave this screening to both boys, ages 3 and 4. It is a 20-question research-based screening tool to be used with 4-year-olds. The score will show if a child’s pre-reading skills are weak, strong, or somewhere in between.
‘A’s score was 18 out of 20. Your child has strong skills and is probably ready to learn how to read and write. Continue to do everything you can to reinforce those skills. All 4-year-olds enjoy and benefit from playful activities that help prepare them to read — even those who already have strong skills and plenty of experience with books and print.
‘R’s score was 16 out of 20 (better than I anticipated). Your child has strong skills and is probably ready to learn how to read and write. Continue to do everything you can to reinforce those skills. All 4-year-olds enjoy and benefit from playful activities that help prepare them to read — even those who already have strong skills and plenty of experience with books and print.
Leigh you've been doing such a great job with your boys, I'm not at all surprised!
Way to go!
