Start the next grade with a plan

Check six prerequisite skills, see which steps need practice, and leave with a short, practical plan. Twelve questions, explained answers, and free printables.

These are practice-planning checks. They sample prerequisites and do not certify readiness, replace a school assessment, or assign a grade level.
