Skills checklist · ages 4–5

KG 1: what your child can do.

Every "can do" from every KG 1 unit, in teaching order. Tick what you have seen your child do, more than once and without much help. Ticks match the ones on the unit pages.

This is not a test. Your child can read simple three-letter words by sounding out, writes their first name, and adds two small groups of objects. Children get there at different speeds; a gap just shows what to practise next.
