Etafeni Day Care Centre: Results of School Preparedness Assessment (2014)

School Preparedness Test Result For Grade R Learners

A screening test was administered to determine the preparedness of Grade R learners for school learning.

21 Grade R learners were assessed. Two learners were absent and one learner joined the class in 2014.

The learners were on average found to be functioning marginally below average (17.10 where 18 is an average score) with another 3 weeks left of the school year. The learners were performing better than Grade 1s tested in a neighbourhood school during the 2nd term in 2012.

The learners were performing above average (75%) on three subtests (Colour, Size and Position), while they where below average on three substets (*Number, Letter and Shape). *The Number subtest result was only marginally (by 1% point) below average.
