The concept of readiness can be related to achievement in various school subjects and at veracious curriculum levels. The broadest scope of readiness, as Ausubel defines, refers to ” the adequacy of existing capacity in relation to the demands of a given learning task. The second type of readiness is socioeconomic, relating to the developing personality qualities and the strides already taken toward independence. The final, major barometer of readiness is considered intellectual-educational. The Administration and Scoring Booklet for The Lollipop Test has been revised to accommodate the recording of both pre and post-kindergarten or pre-school assessment scores.
