After more than a year of uncertainty, parents want to know where their children stand academically. They’re asking themselves these questions and more:
- Is my child academically where he/she is supposed to be?
- Did my child learn everything he/she needed to learn last year?
- What are my child’s academic strengths and weaknesses?
- Is my child ready for the next grade level?
- What are the next steps in preparing my child for the next grade level?

What is the assessment?
The R4N is a three (3) hours in three (3) separate days program:
Day 1: Your child meets with Ms. Canales, and as they get to know one another, Ms. Canales will evaluate measures such as your child’s writing, fine motor skills, and other developmental benchmarks.
Day 2: Your child meets with Ms. Canales for the second day, and she will assess his/her academic foundation of Math, Reading Comprehension, English/Language Arts, and Vocabulary based on his/her grade level.
Day 3: You, the parent(s), will meet with Ms. Canales to go over the Ready4Next Assessment report that will include:
- Content area strengths and gaps as they relate to local, state, national standards or independent school standards (if applicable)
- A recommended short term plan to fill gaps and/or for enrichment
- A recommended long term strategy to help meet your and your child’s educational goals
- Any further recommended testing if applicable (cognitive, psycho-educational, neurological…etc)
The assessment was designed by Wendy Canales with elements of ERB testing, IOWA, and other achievement tests. The assessment is not a cognitive assessment.
The cost for the Ready4Next Assessment is $1,100.
