Research suggests that kindergarten fine motor (FM) and visual motor (VM) skills predict later school performance. Being able to identify if gaps exist in FM/VM readiness could inform FM/VM programming in the early years. The Early Development Instrument is used to assess school readiness in Canada and other countries. Through a Delphi method, a FM/VM Index was developed from Early Development Instrument items. The internal consistency of this Index was calculated and a cut-off score established below which FM/VM skills in the context of school readiness would be considered "Vulnerable." The result is a FM/VM Index containing 11 questions.
