The Readiness Checklist is a 69-item instrument that provides a measure of the psychomotor development of children. It covers seven main areas: general health, movement patterns and muscular coordination, auditory skills, visual skills, speech and language, personal independence, and social adjustment. The checklist is designed to measure a child's level of physical maturity and can be used to collect data as a diagnostic tool to isolate deficient children for immediate remedial action. Collection of data through the checklist can result in the establishment of norms. A score sheet is attached to the checklist. (Author/VM)
