What Should my Incoming Kindee Know?
They should know how to use a touchpad when on the computer.
**some great websites to visit over the summer to “practice” are:
They should be able to name all 26 uppercase letters.
They should be able to name most (at least 18) lowercase letters.
They should know 15 or more sounds associated with lowercase letters.
We use a video called Leap Frog: Letter Factory to help our students with letter recognition and sound. If you can, we would recommend watching it many times this summer for the best results!
They should recognize numbers from 0 to 10.
They should be able to count to 20 orally.
They should have one-to-one correspondence for groups of items up to 10.
They should be able to recognize, read and write their first and last names. (if they have a nickname-be sure they know their formal name!)
They should be able to rhyme.
They should recognize and name basic shapes (triangle, square, circle, rectangle.)
They should know all basic colors.
They should love to have fun!
