What is a kindergarten readiness assessment process?
The Washington Kindergarten Inventory of Developing Skills (WaKIDS) is a kindergarten readiness assessment process being piloted in school year 2010-2011. The Department of Early Learning (DEL) and Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI), in consultation with Thrive by Five Washington, are working to design and implement the WaKIDS pilot. The legislature asked for a mid-year report on the WaKIDS pilot.
