Özet

The concept of school readiness is a process that encompasses a child's journey of starting school and completing this journey easily and successfully. This concept is generally used for children who are about to start primary school, but it also applies to preschool education institutions attended by younger children. Since being ready for school requires a process, moving within a plan allows children to navigate this process more easily. The school level that children will start at is an important factor that also determines how this process will be planned. A child who is about to start kindergarten, preschool, or primary school needs to go through this process in different ways. Children's readiness for school requires a broader set of skills that is not limited to just academic competencies. Self-care skills such as eating and going to the bathroom independently, gross and fine motor skills to perform certain activities, cognitive skills like perception and attention, and social and emotional skills for social relationships are as important as academic skills in children's readiness for school. Different countries are conducting studies to identify children's readiness for school in various ways, so that they can navigate this process more comfortably.
