- The end of the year testing for kindergarten will begin soon. Each child will be tested by the Reading teachers. Children will need to write a dictated sentence, recognize, write, and give the sound of every letter of the alphabet, be able to provide a word that begins with every letter of the alphabet, and be able to write as many words correctly in 10 minutes (Hint: word families provide lots of words). Please try at home to work on some of the areas to be tested to ensure that your child is fully prepared.
