What is a Basic Skill?
What are 'basic skills?'
Basic skills are those skills that every student should learn in Kindergarten and practice over and over again in the first 3 grades.
Your child has the right to enter 1st grade with some basic skills already in place.
During the first three grades, these basic skills need to be mastered.
You do not have to wait until your child is in the 3rd grade for him to learn to read at grade level!
Enrichment should wait until basic skills are well established.
