Follow-Up Activities for the HISD Kindergarten Screening Instrument.
Perry, Pat; Cater, Margot
The Kindergarten Screening Instrument consists of five sub-scales and attempts to screen for possible difficulty in the areas of distant vision, hearing, eye-hand coordination, language learning, and gross motor performance. In response to many requests for follow-up activities after screening, this manual was prepared by Volunteers in Public Schools and the Department of Basic Skills of the Houston Independent School District. All of the activities in this manual have been used successfully in recent years by the Elementary and Secondary Education Act Title I Project HEART teachers. The activities cover each of the five areas of screening. The activities in the vision section are designed for the development of visual perception, visual discrimination, visual memory, eye tracking, and eye movement patterns. Activities in the hearing section are used to develop listening skills, while activities in the eye-hand coordination develop muscular control and manual dexterity. The language development activities include a list of children's books whose illustrators have been awarded the Caldecott Medal and the runners-up from 1938 through 1976; and a variety of classroom cooking activities. Gross motor activities provided ample opportunity to move, explore, manipulate, and discover. (Author/BW)
