Kindergarten Readiness Assessment (KRA)
The Kindergarten Readiness Assessment Revised (KRA-R) is an assessment that measures your child's knowledge and abilities in four areas: social skills, language and literacy, mathematics, and physical well-being and motor development.
It is a tool that teachers will use to get to know your child. It is not designed to rank children by ability, nor is it a tool for identifying students with disabilities or gifted students. This tool is primarily to help your teacher get to know your child in a way that does not interrupt the child’s learning."
