The Georgia Kindergarten Inventory of Developing Skills (GKIDS) Readiness Check takes place during the first six weeks of kindergarten. It is designed to measure entry-level readiness skills of kindergarteners. This is a time for teachers to help understand and meet your child’s individual needs in all areas of development. 

• The GKIDS Readiness will: measure your child's knowledge and skills, help plan instruction, and help you understand your child’s strengths and areas for growth. 

• The GKIDS Readiness will NOT: keep your child from entering kindergarten, identify your child as ready or not ready for kindergarten, or determine if your child “passes” kindergarten.
