Wspomaganie rozwoju dzieci w wieku od 5 do 7 lat a ich gotowość do radzenia sobie z wyzwaniami szkoły
Developmental support for children aged 5–7 and their readiness to cope with the challenge of school

Summary/Abstract: Public discussion about lowering of school entry age has stimulated debate about child readiness to start school and school readiness to take on the youngest pupils. Child readiness was defined using categories of modern health psychology focusing on the resources within the framework of the zone of actual and proximal development rather than on child deficits. The paper stresses high diversity of first-year children’s readiness for school resulting from the varied rate and dynamics of maturation, from different experiences and quality of training in key prerequisites for school education. The aim is to identify the nature of child development during the transition from preschool to school and to provide guidance to encourage child readiness for school.
