What is school readiness and what are the factors critical to a child's readiness for school?

What will be an ideal response?


Answers will vary. Children must master many new tasks when they start school-new academic challenges, new school and teacher expectations, fitting into a new peer group, coping with extended separation from parents, and developing increased self-control and self-help skills.School readiness involves at least three critical factors: the diversity and inequity of children's early life experiences, individual differences in young children's development and learning, and the degree to which schools establish reasonable and appropriate expectations of children's capabilities when they enter school.
