RE: Kindergarten, Here We Come! Are you Ready?
The reality is that all children acquire skills at different rates. There are so many factors that can play a part in how quickly kids acquire and develop skills. There certainly are points when we want kids to accomplish specific skills and we use should be aware of those benchmarks. This is a great list of some skills that will be beneficial for kids entering kindergarten. Try not to stress if your child doesn't have all these skills, kids learn at different speeds.
Yes, I did say there was a range, but I think I lost that idea along the way. Kids certainly do learn at different speeds. The good thing is if you know these milestones, and a child isn't grasping it, usually a little focused, specialized instruction can get them right on track. Or just some time, too. :o)
