Test in kindergarten before school. Sample test for passing an interview at school

When a preschooler reaches the finish line before entering first grade, parents have a significant increase in worries. Long before the long-awaited event, mothers and fathers begin to prepare the baby for adulthood, school life, they try to accustom him to adherence to the regime, independence and, of course, strive to prepare the child for entering first grade. What are the requirements and entrance tests for admission to school for children aged 6-7 years, we will consider in the materials of this article.

1. Basic requirements for enrollment in first grade.

2. Testing for health reasons.

3. Testing of intellectual abilities.

4. Tests for future first-graders.

Basic requirements for admission to first grade.

Enrollment of first-graders in primary school held without competition. Upon reaching 7 years of age, in the absence of nervous disorders and serious illnesses, interfering with the learning process in children's team, the child is automatically enrolled in the first grade of the nearest district or selected at will school parents.

However, parents should be prepared for the fact that teachers and psychologists will communicate with the child before enrolling in primary school.

Each future first-grader will be offered feasible tests and asked questions, based on the results of which it will be possible to judge whether the child is ripe for entry into school or whether he should still spend time in a preschool institution.

If the school commission offers your child to stay in kindergarten for a year, there is no need to worry about this. This does not mean that your child is behind his peers in development, but perhaps he is not yet morally and mentally ready for the new stage of his life. Over the course of a year, he will get stronger, gain strength, and his studies will be easier for him than if he started school this year.

Health testing.

Testing children for health reasons is nothing more than a medical examination. Based on its results, the physical and somatic health child, and it is revealed which health group the baby belongs to. In addition, the medical report is necessary document for admission to primary school.

Medical examinations take place in district clinics or directly in kindergartens. For graduating groups, specialized specialists are invited to examine the children, assess their health status and issue appropriate conclusions. The option of undergoing a medical examination in kindergarten significantly saves the time and nerves of both parents and children.

An examination by specialized specialists can be carried out either immediately before September or six months before the start of the school year. In the second case, the child will not have to take tests immediately; this will need to be done no earlier than a month before the start of classes.

Before entering school, the child must obtain the opinion of the following specialists: an orthopedic surgeon (he will determine the condition of the spine, identify possible violations posture and give recommendations); ophthalmologist (will determine the child’s visual acuity, identify possible violations and give recommendations); otolaryngologist (will assess the condition of the child’s hearing and nasopharynx); dentist (assesses the correctness of the bite, the presence of caries, gives recommendations for treatment); cardiologist (assesses physical and emotional development, ability to withstand stress); speech therapist (determines the ability to pronounce all sounds, the formation of the speech apparatus); neurologist (assesses the child’s neuropsychic state); gynecologist (for girls).

Referrals for laboratory tests (scraping for enterobiasis, general tests blood and urine) are given to the children’s parents, and they take the tests themselves at the clinic. The results are pasted or entered into the medical record.

Testing intellectual abilities.

Here it must be said right away that school tests for first-graders on intellectual abilities are in no way an indicator of a child’s developmental delay. Rating scale is advisory in nature, and the decision about whether the child is ready for schooling or not, is decided on the basis of the general opinion about the child.

It is possible that during an interview with teachers, the child will get scared, get agitated, or begin to feel embarrassed, so during testing, close relatives should be with him: mom, dad, grandparents. They will be able to encourage the child, support him and even give him an idea if the child is confused.

Testing of future first-graders is necessary so that children and teachers get to know each other, so that teachers are guided by the children’s already acquired knowledge and can adjust the curriculum.

Parents must understand that this kind of testing and interviews in no way violates current legislation and does not infringe on the rights of the child.

Testing of intellectual abilities should be aimed at determining the level of mental and moral development child, his logic, ability to express his thoughts, compose stories based on the proposed pictures.

The teacher evaluates how attentive the child is, whether he can identify the main and secondary things in a story, whether he can compose or solve a simple problem, how he holds a pen, whether he knows letters, whether he can connect syllables, and read.

Tests for future first-graders.

A class will be selected for the interview; communication between the teacher and the child will take about 15-20 minutes. The child will be offered several tasks various topics(for logic, thinking, mathematics and grammar, and other tests), several questions will be asked.

In this section we will present several thematic tests to prepare the child for the start of school. Let us repeat that all tests are advisory in nature and are not an indicator of whether or not a child will be enrolled in school.

You can find questions on logic and attention on your own and thoroughly prepare with your child for the upcoming test.

Based on the results of all tests, the teacher will determine the child’s level of preparation for the beginning of education and, if necessary, give parents useful recommendations. Reading speed is not tested in many schools; it is enough that the child knows the letters and can merge syllables.

To enter first grade, a child must be able to coherently express his thoughts, navigate in space and time, have basic knowledge in mathematics (add numbers, name geometric shapes), work with writing materials.

Here are some recommendations for parents of future first-graders, based on the experience of teachers primary classes. Thanks to these recommendations, parents will be able to independently prepare their child for testing.

A child going to first grade should be able to write a simple story about himself and his family, know what his parents do as part of their job, and navigate time and space. A plus to the child’s knowledge will be the ability to distinguish different professions, know who can do what. The child must understand the difference between wild and domestic animals and birds, know the main types of trees, shrubs, flowers, understand which of them are indoors and which are outdoors.

To prepare your child for testing, you can use printed workbooks for preschoolers. They contain clear exercises to develop attention, logical thinking, memory development.

To develop your child’s mathematical knowledge, teach him to count sticks, cubes, steps, do arithmetic exercises, do not forget that you need to work with preschoolers in game form. To develop writing abilities, let your child draw, write, color pictures, sculpt from plasticine and do appliqué. The better his fine motor skills are developed, the better his success in writing will be.

Teach your child that there is nothing scary about testing and behave calmly. Your excitement will be passed on to your child, and he will also begin to worry.

As the child grows up, parents increasingly worry: “What should the child know before going to school?” At 7 years old, the level of development of modern children surprises many adults. The horizons are quite broad, lexicon reaches 5-6 thousand words, boys and girls sometimes ask questions that are not at all childish and require deep answers.

If the parents worked with the baby for two to three years before school, developed communication skills, developed curiosity, taught to respect oneself and others, it will be easier for a first-grader to adapt to school everyday life. Parents of preschool children will find it useful to know what skills will help them quickly integrate into educational process.

Testing before entering school

According to the law, it is impossible to conduct mini-exams or tests to test the knowledge of a future first-grader. In reality, the situation is different: many schools are trying to recruit the “best,” most prepared children. The administration knows about the testing ban educational institutions, but a way out was found: the knowledge test takes place under the modest name “interview”.

If you study the range of questions that children must answer, it is easy to understand: preschoolers face a real exam. In addition to questions that reveal the general level of development, the psychologist checks reading, retelling, writing skills, the level of logic, and mathematical knowledge.

Children with whom their parents have been studying since they were 3.5–4 years old immediately stand out from their unprepared peers. Psychologists willingly give recommendations to “smart people” for enrollment in the chosen educational institution.

Underwater rocks

Unfortunately, many literate children cannot fully demonstrate their talents and skills for one simple reason: they do not fully understand the psychologist’s questions. It's not a matter of a low level of knowledge or poorly developed horizons.

There are several reasons:

• embarrassment, timidity in front of a stranger, excitement;
• fear of asking again when the question is not heard or is not fully understood;
• mental characteristics, nervous system, personality: some children need more time to comprehend what they heard and prepare an answer.

Often, after an interview that didn’t go very well, it turns out: future first-grader I couldn’t complete all the tasks because I didn’t hear well, was embarrassed to ask again, or didn’t understand the question. Sometimes the fault lies with the psychologist, with an unprofessional approach to his duties.

Conclusion:

• teach children to communicate not only with peers, but also with adults;
• simulate situations more often when you have to answer various questions;
• communicate more with your son or daughter, do not limit yourself to “yes” or “no” answers, justify your point of view;
• teach to ask questions, develop curiosity;
• remind them to ask again when the question is not completely clear;
• teach to respect yourself, explain to the child that he is a small person;
• learn to overcome shyness.

Advantages of an interview

Some parents had a negative attitude before testing, but after observing the child and talking with a psychologist, they changed their minds. What is the reason?

Adults saw their son or daughter “from the outside,” observed the reaction of the future first-grader to the psychologist’s questions, and understood strengths, points to work on. Psychologists gave many parents useful advice and suggested what to pay attention to.

There were also benefits for the future first-grader:

• for the first time the child was left alone with a real teacher, tried to communicate on his own, without parents;
• Often the interview is conducted by a “commission” of the head teacher, psychologist, speech therapist, and primary school teacher. Upon admission to language school teacher is often present foreign language. A conversation with several teachers, conducted correctly, allows you to understand that a new, “adult” stage of life is beginning;
• Often parents choose from two or three schools, especially if the level of knowledge is high, allowing them to “swing” at a lyceum or gymnasium. After the first interview, it was easier for the children during the second and third testing: they did not get lost, confidently answered questions, and completed tasks.

Important! The interview will be beneficial if it is conducted by a professional who is sensitive to children. Sometimes it happens that a psychologist shows prejudice and tactlessness towards a child who is lagging behind, “pressures” him with questions, and does not clearly formulate tasks. After such a conversation, a boy or girl often begins to feel unsure of their abilities, and parents feel humiliated by the characterization given to their son or daughter.

Level of knowledge before school

Interview questions:

• What is your name (full details)?
• Mother's and father's first and patronymic names (Ivanova Anna Ivanovna, not “Mama Anya”).
• Full residential address.
• How old are you? What was it a year ago or what will it be in two years?
• What do parents do?
• Why are you going to school?
• Tell me what you like to do.
• Where is the left/right hand?
• Describe the picture.
• Tell me a poem.
• Read the short text.

Often psychologists offer these questions and tasks:

• What time of year is it now?
• How is autumn different from spring?
• What pets do you know?
• What wild animals do you know?
• Find an extra item in the group (an apple among the vegetables).
• Who is a doctor (teacher, postman, doctor, etc.)?
• Tell us the difference between a bus and a trolleybus.
• Say numbers and numbers up to 10 or 20.
• Solve addition/subtraction examples.
• Solve the problem.
• Arrange the numbers in descending/ascending order.

The future first-grader should be prepared for the following tasks:

• Name the colors, shades.
• Tell me how the pictures differ.
• Divide the bun equally into two/three parts.
• Write from dictation or copy from the board.
• Draw a hare (bear, person).
• Find the required letter in the word.
• Show vowels/consonants.
• Name words starting with the given letter.
• Compare objects by length/width/height.
• Trace the outline of the drawing.
• Show, shade (shade) the apple/triangle/circle.
• Draw a wavy and a straight line.

Note! When entering a school with a physics and mathematics focus, they are often given simple logic problems; for language schools, it is important for the teacher to understand whether the child has an aptitude for foreign languages.

Psychological and emotional readiness

Many teachers and psychologists believe that this point is the most important. If a child does not understand why he needs school, is embarrassed by those around him, and does not know how to accept established rules, then it will be very difficult to study and feel part of the team.

Dear Parents! Answer the questions honestly:

• Does the child know the rules and requirements that await him from the first days of school? Are you ready? future first grader accept them?
• Can a 6-7 year old child sit quietly for at least 30 minutes?
• Can a young student listen carefully to the teacher (maintain discipline, complete assignments)?
• Does your son or daughter have self-control over behavior?
• Does the little prankster recognize places where he can play, have fun and sit quietly and learn something new?
• Is the child ready to obey? established standards and rules?
• Does he have motivation to study?
• Can he get along with other children and defend his opinion without fists?

Are most of the answers positive? Don’t worry about your future first-grader; entry into the educational process will go quite smoothly.

The more negative answers, the more parents need to think about it. If a first-grader is not psychologically ready for school without five minutes, it will be difficult for him to feel comfortable in a new environment.

What to do? Consult with good psychologist, try to catch up. Additional classes will help smooth out sharp corners when moving to new environment. The sooner you check your psychological and emotional readiness for learning, the easier it is to correct shortcomings.

Inattention to the problem, hoping “at random” often provokes problems:

• appear psychological trauma with a son or daughter;
• there is often an aversion to studying;
• the little student doesn't want to go to school. Contrived excuses appear: “stomach/head/leg hurts”, “there is no first lesson today” and so on;
• stubbornness gradually develops or, conversely, the child becomes too pliable, “stuck up”, ready to fulfill all demands, as long as he is not scolded;
• the desire to express one’s “I” disappears, the small personality hides in a “shell”;
• children are afraid to ask again, do not understand the material, and try to earn the respect of their friends not with knowledge, but with extraordinary actions or risky antics. Some underachieving students become “local clowns”, tease the children, disrupt lessons, but are afraid to talk about their problems with their studies, teacher, and classmates;
• small problems gradually grow into new ones, and it is difficult to motivate a child to gain knowledge.

Required general skills and abilities:

• hours, days of the week, months, seasons;
• animals, birds, domestic animals;
• vegetables, fruits, plants, shrubs, trees;
• everything about yourself and your parents;
• names of professions;
• weather, natural phenomena;
• holidays;
• your hobbies;
• family interests;
• concepts of "left-right";
• colors and shades;
• desire to learn, understanding what children do at school.

Teachers pay attention to whether the future first-grader has developed the following skills:

• reading;
• retelling;
• development of speech, visual, auditory memory;
• logical thinking;
• accounts;
• orientation in space.

The level of intellectual development is important, realizing oneself as more mature. A competent, intelligent student always commands respect.

Take note:

• many parents believe that an “overeducated” first-grader who knows a lot will be bored in class, because he is already counting to 100, and his classmates are solving examples up to 20;
• the parents are right, but in such a situation it will be easier for the child to adapt to the class, to show himself the best side. It’s worse if a first-grader doesn’t keep up school curriculum.

Evaluation of survey results

(maximum number of positive answers)

1. For questions No. 1,2,5,7,9,10.You tend to exaggerate your role educational institutions in matters of education and upbringing of your child. Therefore, the family was not sufficiently prepared for the child to enter school. The child is likely to have difficulties in the first months of schooling, which is due to insufficient developed sense responsibility, lack of systematic work skills. The concept of order means little to your child, and this is a serious reason for the teacher’s dissatisfaction and, consequently, the first-grader’s worries. The situation is aggravated by the fact that it will be difficult for him to understand the true cause of his troubles. And you are unlikely to be able to help him, since he is not used to sharing his difficulties with you.
2. For questions No. 2,4,5.6,8,10.You took care of the child in advance. He developed the necessary skills of systematic work. This was facilitated by both your positive example and the child’s involvement in the life of the family. Your increased interest in his successes and grades in first grade will not be a burden for him. The child is accustomed to attention and friendly assessment of his efforts. He can distinguish a quality result from a hack and therefore is accustomed to selecting the means to achieve desired result. Your great merit and assistance in preparation lies in the fact that you provided the child with this choice of quality tools and taught them how to use them.
3. For questions No. 1,3,4,5,7,9.You didn’t really burden yourself with worries about organizing the conditions and routine of the child’s life. This is justified if the child is well adapted to the conditions kindergarten, has good health and very inquisitive. He will most likely not have any difficulties entering school. IN otherwise, there may be some difficulties associated with the lack of proper motivation to educational activities, as well as physical overload.

Don't be upset. If you expected better results from your prodigy.

The test result is just a reason to study more

with a child before school...

Parents are increasingly faced with the fact that interviews are developing into real exams, and admission not only to gymnasiums and lyceums, but also to regular schools(!) is carried out on a competitive basis. Does this mean that for children who have not received special training, the chances of being enrolled in first grade are close to zero? Strictly speaking, no, because according to the regulations of the Ministry of Education and Science, all children who have reached school age, are admitted to the first grade of a general education institution, regardless of their level of training and residence in the territory to which the school is assigned.

A prerequisite for enrollment in first grade is that the child reaches at least 6.5 years of age by the beginning of the school year. Only absence free seats sometimes serves as a reason for refusing to admit children who do not live in the nearest neighborhood. No one has the right to demand from a future first-grader the ability to read and write - all tests and assignments are checked only intellectual development baby.

The main purpose of testing should be to familiarize teachers with children entering school and to be able to adjust the curriculum depending on their level. general development. Thus, the results of any interviews conducted with the child are only advisory in nature, otherwise it is considered a violation of current legislation.

However, you should not neglect your preparation for school. Having made a first impression about the child after the interview, the teacher will not soon change it. This process in each case is individual and depends on the abilities and character of a particular child, as well as external conditions (features of upbringing in the family, “experience” acquired in a preschool institution, etc.). Parents should focus on approximately two to three months of regular classes to develop logic, thinking and memory. In any case, such training will be very useful and will definitely be useful to the future first-grader. Loving parents themselves will perfectly prepare their child for admission testing to the 1st grade, and to a school of any level. As a rule, the child is tested by the future first teacher. We assure you that she will have the most favorable, positive attitude towards your “prodigy” after brilliant answers to “tricky questions” for which the baby was prepared at home!

The following aspects are usually checked during interviews: perception, memory, attention and concentration, thinking, motor skills, speech. They also ask questions on the topics “ The world", "City", "Daily Routine". The tests also include simple arithmetic problems.

In aspect PERCEPTIONS great importance the child has a visual memory, his ability to remember colors, shapes, components items. A perception task can be formulated, for example, this way: complete the drawing of the dragonfly (Fig. 1).

MEMORY- one of the most difficult aspects. As screening test most often they offer a series of simple pictures or geometric shapes that need to be remembered in 10-20 seconds and then drawn on clean slate. This often requires longer training.

On ATTENTION and CONCENTRATION exist individual tasks. For example: remember the pattern with dots and try to repeat it (Fig. 2). On the right are possible options for performing the test).

For checkTHINKINGThe future first grader is offered the following tasks:

1. Name as many similarities and differences as possible:

a) cat and dog (pets, tail, ears, whiskers, fur; scratches/bites, meows/barks, catches mice/guards the house, etc.);
b) shepherd and cow (legs, nose, alive, moving; person/animal, speaks/moos, etc.);
c) crow and pike (tail, breathe, feed; bird/fish, flies/swims, croaks/is silent, etc.).

2. Complete the fourth boat so as to maintain the pattern (Fig. 3).

The development of MOTOR SKILLS of a future schoolchild is often tested using practical task, for example: draw a man. The evaluation criteria here are the adequacy and accuracy of the image (Fig. 4).

Tests from the sectionSPEECH DEVELOPMENTmight sound like this.

1. Name in one word: A boy who goes to school (student); woman playing tennis (tennis player); a person playing the piano (pianist). If a horse is made of wood, what kind of horse is it? (Wooden.) If dad has dark hair, what is he like? (Dark-haired). If it rains today, what day is it? (Rainy).
2. Say it correctly. One mitten, but many (mittens). One ball, but many (balls). One tree, but many (trees).

In addition, it is necessary to know words that are close and opposite in meaning (synonyms and antonyms), be able to break words into syllables, distinguish between vowels and consonants, and rhyme words (bear - cone).
Often children are given a task make a story based on a picture. It is useful to learn a few short poems and simple tongue twisters with your child ("A good pie - there is curd inside"), and practice solving popular riddles ("The girl is sitting in a dungeon, and her braid is on the street").

When talking on the topic “The world around us,” the child should know:

· names of insects, animals, their young, habits and habitat;

· be able to divide them into groups (wild and domestic, predators and herbivores);

· know the names of plants (trees, flowers, vegetables, fruits, mushrooms), as well as their division into edible and inedible.

The topic “City” occupies an important place in the conversation between a teacher and a preschooler. The child needs to be able to navigate well the rules of behavior for pedestrians on the road, determine the type of transport, relate stores and the goods sold in them, and distinguish between professions. The child definitely needs learn your home address and phone number. Knowledge of the seasons and the day, the ability to determine time using both electronic and regular clocks will be useful when answering questions on the topic “Daily Routine”. In order to confidently solve math problems in the future, the future first-grader must count from 1 to 20, solve the simplest examples of subtraction and addition (such as 3-1 =...; 4 + 4 =...; 15-2 =... ; 20-9 =...; 10 + 1 =...) and recognize the "greater than", "less than" and "equal" signs. The child can be offered the following picture with a task: where are the most balls? (Fig. 5).
According to the interview rules Only complete, clear and specific answers are counted to the questions asked. For example, if you need to give your dad’s last name, first name and patronymic, the correct answer is: “My dad’s name is Mikhail Vasilyevich Ivanov,” and the incorrect answer is: “Papa Misha.”
Children need to react quickly enough to tasks - they are given little time to think. Has the meaning pre-practice at home, even if in general the child is well prepared.
It should be borne in mind that when children find themselves in an unusual environment, they often begin to get nervous and often, having necessary knowledge, they are unable to concentrate and give the correct answer.
An unfamiliar place, strangers - all this creates stressful situation, especially for children who have not attended nurseries preschool institutions. Therefore, parents need to take care of the moral and psychological preparation of the preschooler. Parents can check, expand and strengthen their child’s knowledge on their own: methodological manuals and collections of test tasks are widely represented in bookstores. These types of manuals usually contain numerous exercise options and logical problems, formulated in a form understandable to a preschooler and supplied with illustrative material.

In addition, in many schools there is a so-called zero - a preparatory class, where classes are taught by qualified teachers. They will identify weak points, develop individual program, with their help the child will be better prepared for such important event in my life: entering first grade.

But now, (attention!), the assessment and interpretation of the child’s answers is done like this:

For the correct answer to all subquestions of one item, the child receives 1 point (except for control questions). For correct but incomplete answers to subquestions, the child receives 0.5 points. For example, the correct answers are: “Dad works as an engineer,” “A dog has more paws than a rooster”; incomplete answers: “Mom Ganya”, “Dad works at work.”

Control tasks includequestions 5, 8, 15, 22. They are rated like this:

Evaluation of results:
the child received 24-29 points, he is considered school-aged,
the child received 20-24 points – mid-ripe,
the child received 15-20 points – low level psychosocial maturity.

2. Orientation test school maturity Kerna - Jiraseka(Їrasika) updated
Age: Preschool 5-7 years old, Ready for school.
Question: readiness to learn.
Goal: Determining the child’s level of readiness for school. The test reveals the general level mental development, level of development of thinking, ability to listen, remember and understand, perform tasks according to the model.
Contents: The Kern-Jirasek test consists of 4 parts:

· a) test “Drawing of a man” (male figure);

b) copying a phrase from written letters;

c) drawing points;

· d) questionnaire.

Short story
This test was proposed by J. Jirasek as a modification and update existing methodology A. Kern and received the combined name “Updated Kern-Jirasek test”.
In 1978, the Kern-Jirasek graphic test was first published in Russian, however mass application received only 6-10 years later. The exceptional simplicity of testing and maximum accessibility have made it a favorite tool not only among psychologists, but also among teachers and even kindergarten teachers.

Some would-be specialists very freely interpreted the results of the examination, labeling children who did not score the required number of points as “underachieving”, “lagging behind”, and even used stronger expressions that put an end to the child who was “unlucky” to perform the test well. Meanwhile, J. Jirasek warned against such an interpretation; he provided the technique with very clear instructions and gave precise explanations for the interpretation (see part 2).

What will he talk about? Kern-Jirasek test and who is it intended for?

This technique is intended for 5-7 year old children, its purpose is to test their readiness for schooling. This includes an assessment of the child’s personal maturity (task 1), his fine motor skills and visual coordination (task 2), and the test also reveals the visual-spatial perception of the future first-grader, visual memory (task 3) and thinking (based on overall assessment of the entire test).

The test can be used individually or in a group.

Methodology

The child is given an A4 sheet folded in half and a simple pencil. The sheet should lie like a notebook. On the unfolded side (on the left half of the sheet) at the top, write in advance short sentence in written (NOT printed!) letters: He ate soup.

Below you draw a group of points as shown in Fig. 2. The right half of the sheet is for the child who will complete the drawing task.

He should sit in a way that is comfortable for him, so that the table and chair take into account his height.

When everything is ready, sit the child down, place a folded sheet of paper in front of him, give him the first task and wait for him to complete it. Then ask him to unfold the sheet for the second task, etc.

1. Draw a man. Because you can(we don’t say anything else and, in response to all the child’s remarks, we repeat the instructions without our explanation). If he asks if you can draw a woman, say: “You need to draw a man.” If the child has already started drawing a woman, wait until he finishes and repeat the request to draw a man. It happens that a child refuses to draw a man (later I will explain why this could be). Then we do the next task.
2. The child turns the sheet over and sees a sentence at the top left. You say: “Look, there’s something written here. You don’t know how to write yet, but try, maybe you can do the same. Look carefully and write the same thing here in the empty space.” Those. we invite him to copy the phrase. If your child can already read written text, write any phrase in another language unknown to him, for example, in English: He eats soup.
3. He then moves on to a group of points. You say: “Look, there are dots drawn here. Try to draw the same thing here, next to me.” You can use your finger to show the place where he will draw them.
Don't forget to praise your child after finishing the test..

If in the first task the child flatly refuses to draw a man, do not insist - this is food for thought. Such a refusal may indicate trouble in the child’s family, when the father is absent altogether, a threat comes from him, or traumatic experiences are associated with him.

Regarding the interpretation, J. Jirasek noted that high quality fulfillment indicates a greater likelihood that the subject will successfully cope with the school curriculum. However, if he did poorly on the test, this does NOT mean that at school he will become a poor student and an ignoramus. Not at all. And such children study well. It just happens that a child sketches a person, which affects total amount points.

So if you don’t get the scores you would like, think about whether you are doing everything for your child’s development? Show him more attention, often play with him all the games and exercises that develop fine motor skills, memory and thinking.

SO, WE CARRY OUT ALL FOUR PARTS OF THE KERN-JIRASEK TEST:

a) Test “Drawing of a person”(very important!) - applied in all CIS schools:
Exercise
“Here (shown where) draw some guy as best you can.” While drawing, it is unacceptable to correct the child (“you forgot to draw the ears”), the adult silently observes.
Assessment
1 point: a male figure is drawn (elements men's clothing), there is a head, torso, limbs; the head and body are connected by the neck, it should not be larger than the body; the head is smaller than the body; on the head – hair, possibly a headdress, ears; on the face - eyes, nose, mouth; the hands have hands with five fingers; legs are bent (there is a foot or shoe); the figure is drawn in a synthetic way (the outline is solid, the legs and arms seem to grow from the body, and are not attached to it.
2 points: fulfillment of all requirements, except for the synthetic method of drawing, or if there is a synthetic method, but 3 details are not drawn: neck, hair, fingers; the face is completely drawn.
3 points: the figure has a head, torso, limbs (arms and legs are drawn with two lines); may be missing: neck, ears, hair, clothing, fingers, feet.
4 points: a primitive drawing with a head and torso, arms and legs are not drawn, can be in the form of one line.
5 points: lack of a clear image of the torso, no limbs; scribble.

b) Copying a phrase from written letters
Exercise
“Look, there's something written here. Try to rewrite the same here (show below the written phrase) as best you can.”
Write a phrase on a piece of paper in capital letters, first letter - capital: He ate soup.
Assessment
1 point: the sample is copied well and completely; letters may be slightly larger than the sample, but not 2 times; the first letter is capital; the phrase consists of three words, their location on the sheet is horizontal (a slight deviation from horizontal is possible).
2 points: the sample is copied legibly; the size of the letters and horizontal position are not taken into account (the letter may be larger, the line may go up or down).
3 points: the inscription is divided into three parts, you can understand at least 4 letters.
4 points: at least 2 letters match the sample, the line is visible.
5 points: illegible scribbles, scribbling.

c) Drawing points(see Figure 2 above)
Exercise
“There are dots drawn here. Try to draw the same ones next to each other.”
In the sample, 10 points are located at an even distance from each other vertically and horizontally.
Assessment
1 point: exact copying of the sample, small deviations from the line or column are allowed, reduction of the picture, enlargement is unacceptable.
2 points: the number and location of points correspond to the sample, deviation of up to three points by half the distance between them is allowed; dots can be replaced by circles.
3 points: the drawing as a whole corresponds to the sample, and does not exceed it in height or width by more than 2 times; the number of points may not correspond to the sample, but there should not be more than 20 and less than 7; We can rotate the drawing even 180 degrees.
4 points: the drawing consists of dots, but does not correspond to the sample.
5 points: scribbles, scribbles.
After evaluating each task, all points are summed up.
So, if a child scores in total on all three tasks:
3-6 points means he has a high level of readiness for school;
7-12 points – quite an average level;
13-15 points - so be it, low level of readiness, the child needs additional examination of intelligence and mental development (or maybe the child just had Bad mood? - in a day let's take the test one more time! God willing, everything will work out, but you need to be more careful!)

d) QUESTIONNAIRE. The last part of the Kern-Jirasik test (Kern-Jurasik in another spelling)
Reveals the general level of thinking, horizons, and development of social qualities.
It is conducted in the form of a question-answer conversation. Exercise may sound like this: “Now I will ask questions, and you try to answer them.” If it is difficult for a child to answer a question right away, you can help him with several leading questions. The answers are recorded in points and then summed up:

1. Which animal is bigger - a horse or a dog?
(horse = 0 points; incorrect answer = -5 points)

2. In the morning we have breakfast, and in the afternoon...
(we have lunch, eat soup, meat = 0; have dinner, sleep and other incorrect answers = -3 points)

3. It’s light during the day, but at night...
(dark = 0; wrong answer = -4)

4. The sky is blue and the grass...
(green = 0; incorrect answer = -4)

5. Cherries, pears, plums, apples - what are they?
(fruit = 1; correct answer = -1)

6. Why does the barrier go down before the train passes?
(so that the train does not collide with the car; so that no one gets hurt, etc. = 0;
wrong answer = -1)

7. What are Moscow, Odessa, St. Petersburg? (name any cities)
(cities = 1; stations = 0; incorrect answer = -1)

(puppy, lamb = 4; only one correct answer = 0; incorrect answer = -1)

10. Is a dog more like a chicken or a cat? How? What do they have in common?
(per cat, because they have 4 legs, fur, tail, claws (one similarity is enough) = 0;
for a cat without explanation = -1, for a chicken = -3)

11. Why do all cars have brakes?
(two reasons are indicated: to slow down from the mountain, stop, avoid a collision, etc. = 1;
one reason = 0; wrong answer = -1)

12. How are a hammer and an ax similar to each other?
(two common features: they are made of wood and iron, they are tools, they can be used to hammer nails, they have handles, etc. = 3; one similarity = 2; incorrect answer = 0)

13. How are a cat and a squirrel similar to each other?
(determining that these are animals or giving two common characteristics: they have 4 legs, tails, fur, they can climb trees, etc. = 3; one similarity = 2; incorrect answer = 0)

14. What is the difference between a nail and a screw? How would you recognize them if they were lying on the table in front of you?
(the screw has a thread (thread, such a twisted line around) = 3;
the screw is screwed in and the nail is driven in or the screw has a nut = 2; wrong answer = 0)

15. Football, high jump, tennis, swimming are...
(sport (physical education) = 3; games (exercises, gymnastics, competitions) = 2; doesn’t know = 0)

16. What vehicles do you know?
(three land vehicles + plane or ship = 4;
only three ground vehicles or full list with an airplane, ship, but only after explaining that vehicles are something you can move around on = 2;
wrong answer = 0)

17. What is the difference between an old man and a young man? What's the difference between them?
(3 signs (gray hair, lack of hair, wrinkles, poor vision, often getting sick, etc.) = 4;
one or two differences = 2; wrong answer (he has a stick, he smokes...) = 0

18. Why do people play sports?
(for two reasons (to be healthy, hardened, not fat, etc.) = 4;
one reason = 2; incorrect answer (to be able to do something, to earn money, etc.) = 0)

19. Why is it bad when someone deviates from work?
(others must work for him (or another expression that someone suffers a loss as a result of this) = 4; he is lazy, earns little, cannot buy anything = 2; wrong answer = 0)

20. Why do you need to put a stamp on a letter?
(so they pay for sending this letter = 5;
the other, the one who receives, would have to pay a fine = 2; wrong answer = 0)

Let's sum up the points.
Sum + 24 and above – high verbal intelligence (outlook).
A sum from + 14 to 23 is above average.
The sum from 0 to + 13 is the average indicator of verbal intelligence.
From - 1 to - 10 – below average.
From -11 and less is a low indicator.
If the verbal intelligence score low or below average,
additional examination of neuropsychic development is necessary child.

The following tests for admission to 1st grade are used after the Kern-Jirasek test:

3. Find the differences test. Reveals the level of development of observation skills.
Prepare two identical pictures, differing from each other in 5-10 details (such tasks are found in children's magazines and educational copybooks).
The child looks at the pictures for 1-2 minutes, then talks about the differences he found. Child preschool age With high level observation must find all the differences.

4. Test "Ten words".
Studying voluntary memorization and auditory memory, as well as stability of attention and the ability to concentrate.
Prepare a set of one-syllable or two-syllable words that are not related to each other in meaning. For example: table, viburnum, chalk, hand, elephant, park, gate, window, tank, dog.
The test condition is complete silence.
At the beginning, say: “Now I want to test how you can remember words. I will say the words, and you listen carefully and try to remember them. When I finish, repeat as many words as you remember in any order.”
There are 5 presentations of words in total, i.e. After the child first enumerates and repeats the remembered words, you again say the same 10 words: “Now I will repeat the words again. You will memorize them again and repeat the ones you remember. Name the words you spoke in last time, and new ones that you remember.”
Before the fifth presentation, say: “Now I will name the words in last time, and you try to remember more.”
Apart from the instructions, you should not say anything else, you can only gently encourage.
A good result is when, after the first presentation, the child reproduces 5-6 words,
after the fifth – 8-10 (for senior preschool age).

5. Test "What's missing?"
This is both a test task and a simple, but very useful game, developing visual memory.
Toys are used various items or pictures.
Pictures (or toys) are laid out in front of the child - up to ten pieces. He looks at them for 1-2 minutes, then turns away, and you change something, removing or rearranging it, after which the child must look and say what has changed. With good visual memory the child easily notices the disappearance of 1-3 toys or their movement to another place.

6. Test “The fourth is extra.”
The ability to generalize, logical, and imaginative thinking is revealed.
For children of older preschool age, you can use both pictures and a series of words.
It is important not only that the child chooses the wrong one, but also how he explains his choice.
Prepare pictures or words, for example:
image of a porcini mushroom, boletus, flower and fly agaric;
pan, cup, spoon, cupboard;
table, chair, bed, doll.
Possible verbal options:
dog, wind, tornado, hurricane;
brave, courageous, determined, angry;
laugh, sit, frown, cry;
milk, cheese, lard, yogurt;
chalk, pen, garden, pencil;
puppy, kitten, horse, pig;
slippers, shoes, socks, boots, etc.
If you use this technique as a developmental one, you can start with 3-5 pictures or words, gradually complicating the logical series so that there are several correct options answer, for example: cat, lion, dog - both a dog (not a cat) and a lion (not a domestic animal) can be superfluous.

7. Test "Classification".
Study of logical thinking.
Prepare a set of squats, including various groups: clothes, dishes, toys, furniture, domestic and wild animals, food, etc.
The child is asked to arrange the pictures (pre-mixed) into groups, then he is given complete freedom. After completion, the child must explain why he will arrange the pictures in this way (often children put together animals or images of kitchen furniture and dishes, or clothes and shoes, in this case, offer to separate these cards)
High level of task completion: the child arranged the cards correctly into groups, was able to explain why and name these groups (“pets”, clothes”, “food”, “vegetables”, etc.)

8. Test "Making a story from pictures."
Often used by psychologists to identify the level of development of speech and logical thinking.
Select pictures from the series of “picture stories” and cut them. For senior preschool age, 4-5 pictures united by one plot are enough.
The pictures are mixed and offered to the child: “If you arrange these pictures in order, you will get a story, but in order to arrange it correctly, you need to guess what was at the beginning, what was at the end, and what was in the middle.” Remind you that you need to lay them out from left to right, in order, side by side, in a long strip.
High level of task completion: the child put the pictures together correctly and was able to compose a story based on them using common sentences.

Back to school soon. Entering first grade is a particularly important matter.
The requirements for preparing children have increased. Interview or psychological testing plays a major role in school enrollment decisions.
We must prepare!

Parents are increasingly faced with the fact that interviews are developing into real exams, and admission not only to gymnasiums and lyceums, but also to regular schools (!) is carried out on a competitive basis. Does this mean that for children who have not received special training, the chances of being enrolled in first grade are close to zero? Strictly speaking, no, because according to the regulations of the Ministry of Education and Science, all children who have reached school age are accepted into the first grade of a general education institution, regardless of their level of training and residence in the territory to which the school is assigned.

A prerequisite for enrollment in first grade is that the child reaches at least 6.5 years of age by the beginning of the school year. Only the lack of available places sometimes serves as a reason for refusing to admit children who do not live in the nearest microdistrict. No one has the right to demand from a future first-grader the ability to read and write - all tests and assignments are checked only baby's intellectual development.

The main purpose of testing should be to familiarize teachers with children entering school and the ability to adjust the curriculum depending on the level of their general development. Thus, the results of any interviews conducted with the child are only advisory in nature, otherwise it is considered a violation of current legislation.

However, you should not neglect your preparation for school. Having made a first impression about the child after the interview, the teacher will not soon change it. This process is individual in each case and depends on the abilities and character of a particular child, as well as external conditions (features of upbringing in the family, “experience” acquired in a preschool institution, etc.). Parents should focus on approximately two to three months of regular classes to develop logic, thinking and memory. In any case, such training will be very useful and will definitely be useful to the future first-grader. Loving parents themselves will perfectly prepare their child for admission testing to the 1st grade, and to a school of any level. As a rule, the child is tested by the future first teacher. We assure you that she will have the most favorable, positive attitude towards your “prodigy” after brilliant answers to “tricky questions” for which the baby was prepared at home!

The following aspects are usually checked during interviews: perception, memory, attention and concentration, thinking, motor skills, speech. They also ask questions on the topics “The world around us,” “The city,” and “Daily routine.” The tests also include simple arithmetic problems.

In aspect PERCEPTIONS The child’s visual memory, his ability to remember the color, shape, and components of objects are of great importance. A perception task can be formulated, for example, this way: complete the drawing of the dragonfly (Fig. 1).

MEMORY- one of the most difficult aspects. As a verification test, they most often offer a series of simple pictures or geometric shapes, which must be memorized in 10-20 seconds and then drawn on a blank sheet of paper. This often requires longer training.

On ^ ATTENTION and CONCENTRATION There are separate tasks. For example: remember the pattern with dots and try to repeat it (Fig. 2). On the right are possible options for performing the test).

^ To test the THINKING of a future first-grader, the following tasks are offered:

1. Name as many similarities and differences as possible:

• cat and dog (pets, tail, ears, whiskers, fur; scratches/bites, meows/barks, catches mice/guards the house, etc.);
• shepherd and cow (legs, nose, alive, moving; person/animal, speaks/moos, etc.);
• crow and pike (tail, breathe, feed; bird/fish, flies/swims, croaks/is silent, etc.).

2. Complete the fourth boat so as to maintain the pattern (Fig. 3).

The development of a future schoolchild's MOTOR SKILLS is often tested using a practical task, for example: draw a man. The evaluation criteria here are the adequacy and accuracy of the image (Fig. 4).

Tests from the SPEECH DEVELOPMENT section may sound like this:.

1. Say in one word:

• A boy who goes to school (student);
• woman playing tennis (tennis player);
• a person playing the piano (pianist).
• If a horse is made of wood, what kind of horse is it? (Wooden.)
• If dad has dark hair, what is he like? (Dark-haired).
• If it rains today, what day is it? (Rainy).

2. Say correctly:

• One mitten, but many (mittens).
• One ball, but many (balls).
• One tree, but many (trees).

In addition, it is necessary to know words that are close and opposite in meaning (synonyms and antonyms), be able to break words into syllables, distinguish between vowels and consonants, and rhyme words (bear - cone). Often children are given a task make a story based on a picture. It is useful to learn a few short poems and simple tongue twisters with your child (“The pie is good - there is curd inside”), and practice solving popular riddles (“The girl is sitting in a dungeon, and her braid is on the street”).

^ When talking on the topic “The world around us,” the child should know:

• names of insects, animals, their young, habits and habitats;
• be able to divide them into groups (wild and domestic, predators and herbivores);
• know the names of plants (trees, flowers, vegetables, fruits, mushrooms), as well as their division into edible and inedible.

The topic “City” occupies an important place in the conversation between a teacher and a preschooler. The child needs to be able to navigate well the rules of behavior for pedestrians on the road, determine the type of transport, relate stores and the goods sold in them, and distinguish between professions. The child definitely needs learn your home address and phone number. Knowledge of the seasons and the day, the ability to determine time using both electronic and regular clocks will be useful when answering questions on the topic “Daily Routine”. In order to confidently solve math problems in the future, the future first grader must count from 1 to 20, solve the simplest examples of subtraction and addition (such as 3-1 =...; 4 + 4 =...; 15-2 =...; 20-9 =... ; 10 + 1 =…) and recognize the “greater than”, “less than” and “equal” signs. The child can be offered the following picture with a task: where are the most balls? (Fig. 5).
According to the interview rules Only complete, clear and specific answers are counted to the questions asked. For example, if you need to give your dad’s last name, first name and patronymic, the correct answer is: “My dad’s name is Mikhail Vasilyevich Ivanov,” and the incorrect answer is: “Papa Misha.”

Children need to react quickly enough to tasks - they are given little time to think. Has the meaning pre-practice at home, even if in general the child is well prepared.

It should be borne in mind that when children find themselves in an unusual environment, they often begin to get nervous and often, despite having the necessary knowledge, they are not able to concentrate and give the correct answer.

An unfamiliar place, strangers - all this creates a stressful situation, especially for children who have not attended preschool institutions. Therefore, parents need to take care of the moral and psychological preparation of the preschooler. Parents can easily check, expand and strengthen their child’s knowledge on their own: teaching aids and collections of test tasks are widely available in bookstores. Manuals of this kind usually contain numerous versions of exercises and logical problems, formulated in a form understandable to a preschooler and supplied with illustrative material.
