Illinois uses an observation-based assessment for kindergarten readiness called Kindergarten Individual Developmental Survey (KIDS).

Kindergarten children are observed and scored in these areas:

  • Language and Literacy Development
  • Cognitive Math Development
  • Social Emotional Development
  • Approaches to Learning
