SCHOOL READINESS EVALUATION


1. Preface for parents/teachers

The purpose of this evaluation is to ascertain by means of exploration,
observation and examination if a learner is less mature or less ready for school
than others.

Before evaluation commences, one has to ascertain whether the learner suffers
from some physical disability or other in regard to hearing, eyesight,
concentration, etc. If problems occur, it must be rectified before evaluation
commences.

The evaluation must take place over a period of a few days in an atmosphere of
restfulness and stability, prefarably in the morning.

The first part of this evaluation namely

5.1 General development
5.2 Emotional development and
5.3 Social development

must be completed by somebody who is familiar with the learner, preferably a
parent. Test results must be carried forward onto the evaluation sheet so that
a true reflection of the learner's school readiness is visible.

2. Help with evaluation

2.1 Balance
The walking beam

Length: 3 metres
Width: 100mm
Thickness: 50mm
Two supports for the beam.

Place the beam on the supports so that the child can walk on the 100mm
surface. When the child becomes more adept at it, the beam can be
placed on its side so that he can walk on the 50mm surface. If the child
is afraid to walk on the beam, it can be placed on the floor until he gets
more used to it.
















2.2.1 Pencil grip
It is important for a child to have the correct pencil grip. Young learners
use thick wax crayons or thick pencils. Short pencils must not be used.
It forces the learner to hold the pencil too firmly which results in small
and shaky writing. This causes unnecessary pressure on the paper
which causes fatigue. The pencil must be held above the sharpened part
between the thumb and the middle finger, with the index finger lightly on
the pencil. If a learner has difficulty with the pencil grip, small pieces of
plaster can be pasted onto the finger to help with the position of the
pencil. The learner must be able to lift the index finger without changing
the position of the pencil.

2.2.2 Position of the paper
The height of the table is important. The paper must be placed with an
angle of 60 degrees to the left (for the righthanded learner).











2.2.3 Posture
The learner must sit up straight with both feet on the ground, shoulders
even and the same distance from the table. The left fore-arm must rest
on the writing surface and the left hand must hold the paper firmly so
that it cannot move. An unnatural position like e.g. the head too near the
writing surface needs further investigation e.g. an eye test.

2.3 Dominance
Dominance is the preference and use of one side of the body above the
other.

When a learner has mixed or cross dominance, he often also has a learning
problem. Mixed or cross dominance is when a learner:
is right-handed and (left-eyed)
left-footed and (right-eyed)
(left-eyed) and right-footed, etc

It sometimes happens that a learner can write equally well with both hands, as
well as execute other tasks. We say then the learner is ambidextrous. This
can apply to a learners feet too. He will be able to kick a ball quite easily with
either the left or right foot.

It is very dangerous to force a learner to write with a specific hand or to kick
with a specific foot. As the learner grows he will decide himself which is his
dominant hand or foot and then use it.


Remedial Education & Perceptual Development M.C. Grov & H.M.A.M. Hauptfleisch


2.4 Synthesis / puzzles
These puzzles must be prepared by the examiner before evaluation takes
place. Colour the puzzle and paste onto a carton. Now make a coloured
copy of the puzzle. Cut the pasted puzzle out and place in a container.
When evaluation takes place, the coloured copy of the puzzle must be
placed in front of the learner when he is building the puzzle.

3. What is school readiness?
School maturity and school readiness are two related, but different
concepts. Sometimes they are used as if they were synonymous, which
can cause a great deal of confusion.

3.1 School maturity
School maturity is a term which is generally used. It denotes a biological
growing process in the child's development when certain aptitudes
appear before he starts school. This implies physical as well as mental
maturity.

This is a biological process and cannot be hastened. Maturation is the
name given to the stage when the child is ready for formal instruction in
reading, writing and numeracy.

Usually this kind of maturity is reached by children at about the age of
six. But it must be added that, from a pedagogical point of view, this
kind of maturity is not a guarantee of success at school, because even if
a child is sufficiently mature one can still find that he will not be able to
adjust to the demands of formal teaching. This means that the child is
not yet ready for school even if he is intellectually mature enough to
attend school. If the child does not feel secure, there is a strong
possibility that he will not be able, in spite of his having attained the
required level of maturity, to realize his potential. This is why we must
include the concept of school readiness.

3.2 School readiness
School readiness is a broad term which includes intellectual, social, and
emotional maturity:
School maturity
Social maturity
Emotional maturity

Maturity cannot be influenced by outside factors; but school readiness
can be encouraged by extending a child's field of experience and by
teaching him to use his senses as effectively as possible.

"Readiness is a stage in a child's development when he can learn easily,
effectively and without emotional disturbance. It cannot be a definite
point in development, however, because growth is a steady continuous
process, always ongoing. Rather it is a condition, or state, indicating
that the child is ready to learn."

In order to assess readiness, one must have an insight into the child's
life as a whole. No child becomes ready for school on his own. It is a
process that needs encouragement. The child needs to be educated for
school readiness. Initially it is the responsibility of the parent to provide
the necessary stimuli, and these should be adapted to suit the individual
child. No two children have exactly the same kind of skills, talents,
intelligence, or develop in exactly the same way. And not all children are
equally ready for school at the time of their first going to school. School

readiness is the deciding factor and is primarily an educational matter.
Home education, for example, plays a very important part in a child's
development towards school readiness.

4. Requirements for school readiness

Before a child is ready for school he must posses the following:

4.1 Perceptual ability which enables him to interpret in a meaningful
manner. He must be able to distinguish between
* foreground and background
* perceive constancy of form, colour, size, etc., and he must have
a concept of spacial relationships and
* position in space.

The child must also be able to perceive and reproduce correctly
on a visual-motor level. In other words, the child must be able to
perceptualize as well as conceptualize. These perceptual abilities
are extremely important. Visual perception is particularly
important in writing, reading, copying, cutting out, pasting, etc.
Auditory perception is important in listening: a child must not
only be able to hear, but also to listen.
4.2 The child should be emotionally prepared to enter the new world
and conquer it.
4.3 The child should be able to adjust socially to new situations,
classes, pupils, toys, teachers, etc. He must also resign himself to
authority and discipline.
4.4 The child must be able to absorb knowledge, elaborate on it, make
it his own, and reproduce it.
4.5 The child must be able to cope with, and evaluate problem
situations.
4.6 The child must be able to concentrate and persevere.
4.7 The child must be able to grasp situations as a whole and see their
relation to given material, in other words what he has learnt must
make an impression on him.
4.8 The child must be able to absorb knowledge not because of
pressure from outside, but because of an urge to learn. He must
have a purpose and there must be an inner motivation.
4.9 The child must be bodily fit enough to sustain progress. He must
be able to see, to hear, and be physically strong enough to learn.
4.10 The child must have the ability to speak, to understand the
language and be able to express himself. He has to be verbally
prepared. Language development must take place.
