How did Ready for School gather its data?
Ready for School administered the DIBELS test to more than 80 percent of the lakeshore’s kindergartners (1,300) in 2008. These baseline results demonstrated only 46 percent of incoming kindergartners are equipped with the literacy skills expected of them. The initiative aims to have 75 percent of our 2013 kindergarten students ready for school. Ready for School also gained insights and data from parents of incoming kindergartners, via a comprehensive survey.
