The Helpful Entry Level Skills Checklist is designed to assist early care and education providers in selecting functional skills children may need to make a successful transition into group-based settings at the kindergarten or first-grade levels. These skills focus on attending, compliance, following directions, turn-taking, classroom routines and rules, and independent functioning. Helpful Entry Level Skills are defined as those survival skills or social and behavioral skills often necessary for a child to function successfully in group-based settings.

This assessment is designed to extend the Helpful Entry Level Skills Checklist by allowing a more in-depth assessment of skills in the same five areas: classroom rules, work skills, communication skills, social/
behavior skills and self-management skills. The assessment can assist preschool teachers in identifying the supports they provide to children in the classroom to help them 1) prepare them for new environments and 2) help them adjust to current environments.
