Is Your Child Ready for Kindergarten?

Whether or not the child has attended preschool is important. Non-preschooled kindergarteners take more time to adjust to the structure of the school day than those who are used to it. For example, learning to take turns, form a line with others and eat/sleep at structured times might take some adjustment. The teacher should know if your child hasn't been preschooled or spent time in playgroups. Your child's personality might be a factor in his readiness, but shy children won't necessarily come out of their shells during the year when they're held back, so it's best just to send them on, experts say. The bottom line when making the decision to send your 5-year-old to kindergarten boils down to three factors: whether he can think logically, speak clearly, and get along well with adults and other children.
