i AM-Ready Pre-K Assess and Learn- An Informal Assessment of Readiness Skills for Parents & Teachers, App Review

I am-READY Pre-K Assess and LearnMany parents will be faced with a dilemma in the coming months.  They will have to decide whether or not their preschooler is ready for kindergarten.  i AM-Ready  Pre-K Assess and Learn is a new app that can informally assess your child’s readiness skills in all the same areas that a school uses: reading, math, language and concepts, fine motor, coloring and drawing, puzzles, gross motor, self-help, and social skills and behavior.  Not only is this a beneficial app for identifying strengths and weaknesses, it can also be used to chart progress in these areas over time.  Because of its comprehensive design and its creative use of tablet technology,  i AM-Ready  Pre-K Assess and Learn is our latest Top Pick from Fun Educational Apps.

i AM-Ready  Pre-K Assess and Learn, developed by LMC Academy, is available for the iPad.  It is primarily the work of Linda Chmiliar, Ph.D., an early childhood teacher and researcher with over 30 years experience in the field. 

The app's opening screen allows you to create your child's profile.  The information that is generated stays on your iPad, unless you choose to share it via email.  Some of the categories ask for your observations regarding your child (Uses scissors to cut circle on line.  Yes/Sometimes/No); others have activities that your child completes (“Count to 10. Say it out loud.”) Responses are saved, and a report is generated for each content area.  By looking at the results, parents are able to see a pattern of strengths and weaknesses emerge.  This information, combined with reports from the child’s preschool or daycare, will provide a more objective measure for determining readiness.  One nice feature is that the app can be stopped or started at any point, allowing for breaks as needed.

i AM-Ready  Pre-K Assess and Learn is used in a similar fashion by educators, who have the capability to save five different profiles at a time.  Students who are reluctant, withdrawn, highly active, or otherwise difficult to assess can be tested over a period of days or weeks, in order to get the most accurate information. 

There are four main components to i AM-Ready Pre-K Assess and Learn:

  • a set of practice mini-games that teach children the basics (touch, swipe, and drag-and-drop)
  • the assessment (divided into nine categories)
  • specific, down-to-earth advice parents can use for developing particular skills, included right in the app
  • a means to share results via email

 

What Fun Educational Apps Liked-

I have been involved in our school district’s kindergarten screening program for many years.  In that time, I have screened well over a hundred children, so I know what to look for in a kindergarten assessment. The activities included in i AM-Ready Pre-K Assess and Learn are exactly the same as we use to make decisions about our incoming kindergarteners.

Gone are the days when kindergarten was a place to play, color, and eat snacks.  The expectations of the modern day kindergarten program, as established by the Common Core Curriculum Standards, are higher than ever before.   Every parent should have access to a list of skills that will make their child successful in kindergarten.  i AM-Ready Pre-K Assess and Learn provides this information in a complete, organized format.  That is why we have made it the latest Top Pick for Fun Educational Apps.

i AM-Ready Pre-K Assess and Learn is available for downlaod via the iTunes App Store - iPad/iPad Mini/iPad Air

Promo Price $2.99/1.99/€2.69 - RRP - $9.99/£6.99/€6.99
