What this check can and cannot tell you
This quick check samples finding named letters, matching beginning sounds, finding how many, and comparing groups. School readiness includes many other experiences and skills.
Children ages 3–7 see the same activities; results are not compared with age norms. Responses at home can vary with mood, familiarity, language, accessibility, and how the parent helped. Result labels are provisional display rules, not population norms or pass/fail cutoffs.
How we made these activities
KinderLearner authored 48 original questions across two forms and eight narrow skills. This check uses 12 at a time. A parent records what the child says, points to, or taps; uncertain responses are never guessed. These are home learning activities, not a validated screening instrument.

Questions parents ask
Do I need an account or card?
No. See and print the report free. A parent account is optional if you choose to save it.
What if my child needs help?
You can operate the screen and repeat instructions. Record “with help” when you give a clue.
Can we stop early?
Yes. The report shows which activities were not done.
Is this a school assessment?
No. It is an original home learning snapshot, separate from any school process.
