Information
on delaying kindergarten entry
Often
parents and other family members question whether they should delay
a child's entry into kindergarten for a year because of their child's
relatively young age or lack of maturity. This is often referred to
as "academic redshirting."
In many
cases, the parents and families will seek the opinion of their child's
preschool teacher, the transition coordinator, the elementary principal,
or others in the education field. It is important that the advice provided
is based on knowledge of the effects of redshirting. The links below
provide the latest information on academic redshirting and other related
topics from a variety of early childhood professionals.
