How would you describe kindergarten readiness to a parent considering “redshirting”?
A parent usually knows whether their child is ready for school or not. If they do not feel the child is ready, then there is nothing wrong with holding the student back for a year. As far as readiness, it is not necessary that a child be able to read or write before starting kindergarten. They need to know basic skills like how to sit still and listen, how to obey a teacher, how to use the restroom without help, and how to feed themselves.
