Kindergarten Assessment

The Best Start Kindergarten Assessment identifies the literacy and numeracy knowledge and skills that each child brings to school as they enter Kindergarten. It uses a continuum that is consistent with the English and Mathematics syllabus for the early years of schooling. This assessment informs the quality teaching and learning programs that schools implement in the early years of schooling.Best Start logo
