School Readiness Tests in U6

Children are inquisitive and want to learn. When they reach preschool age, the joy of starting school is immense. But before the time for school cones and backpacks begins, there is still the school aptitude test. This week the preschool of the U6 section started with the tests. The aptitude test for school not only tests the language level, but also the ability to concentrate and remember, practical skills, body coordination, gross motor skills and cognitive abilities in a playful way based on a story.
The placement test serves to outline an overall picture of the child’s performance level, to identify any deficits and, under certain circumstances, to remedy them by the time the child starts school. Whether the child can already do sums or write is not examined – after all, there is still time for that in Grade 1. Children should have fun learning right from the start and go to school with joy; these are the best prerequisites.
