The purpose of the Florida Kindergarten Readiness Screener (FLKRS) is to gather information on a child’s overall development and to specifically address the readiness of each student for kindergarten based on the Florida Early Learning and Developmental Standards-for-Four-Year-Olds. The FLKRS is also used to calculate the VPK Provider Kindergarten Readiness Rate, which measures how well a VPK provider prepares four-year-olds to be ready for kindergarten based upon Florida Early Learning and Developmental Standards-for-Four-Year-Olds.
