Kindergarten Transition Readiness Monitoring Data Sheets Editable

About this resource

Every data sheet a PreK or Early Intervention team needs to track kindergarten readiness during transition, in one fillable PDF: readiness assessment across five domains (social-emotional, communication, fine and gross motor, self-care and adaptive, academic pre-skills), a caseload roster, five readiness checklists, a tracker and graph showing progress toward kindergarten entry, a transition meeting summary page for the team, a parent readiness survey, a phrase bank for transition notes, a filled-in example, a home letter template, and organizer tabs for a transition binder.

WHAT IS INCLUDED - 18 pages

Setup

• How to Use This File - three minutes of reading: which readiness domain, which sheet, save as per child
• Kindergarten Readiness Assessment Chooser - a table matching readiness skills to the five domains and the pages they live on
• PreK-to-K Transition Caseload Roster - 11 rows: child, age/grade, readiness domain(s) being tracked, page number, kindergarten school, transition date

Tracking And Team Communication

• Readiness Tracker - 12 weeks in five columns, 4 rows per domain, with setting across all columns, so one domain on one page shows the readiness data from PreK spring through kindergarten entry
• Progress Graph - plot the tracker by domain; draw the aim line at I (independent) first
• Transition Meeting Summary - team planning page: readiness strengths, emerging readiness skills, kindergarten classroom expectations, classroom accommodations and supports, next steps before entry
• Parent Readiness Survey - family perspective on readiness at home, what is going well, what the family wants to work on, questions and concerns

Reference, Example And Organizer

• Transition Notes Phrase Bank - observable-language starters for readiness strengths, emerging skills, kindergarten support, family input
• A filled-in example: an invented PreK student (Anya) with readiness data across five weeks showing progress in social-emotional transition skills
• Home Letter Template - send before the kindergarten visit: what kindergarten is like, how to talk about starting school, one readiness skill to practice, family questions
• Organizer Tabs and Binder Covers - print this page to create divider tabs for a transition binder and spine labels

What This Is, And What It Is Not

It is a fillable PDF. Open it in a PDF reader, click a line, a box or a cell, type, press Tab to move on, and Save As once per child. It works offline with no account or subscription. It is NOT a Google Sheets file, a Google Doc or an Excel workbook, and it does not calculate or draw the graph.

It is not a kindergarten-entry requirement, a developmental screening tool, or a prerequisite for school entry. Nothing in it states an age at which a skill should appear or an age cutoff for kindergarten. Readiness skills are ones the IEP team has identified for this student's transition to kindergarten; the sheets make sure the team writes down the readiness data the same way, every time. This tool is built specifically for transition planning, not general developmental tracking.

Who This Is For

PreK and Early Intervention teachers, special education coordinators, and kindergarten teachers tracking and planning the transition to kindergarten entry. The tool is built for the transition period (typically late PreK spring through early kindergarten fall), not general preschool monitoring.
