Readiness rates must be based exclusively upon the results of the statewide kindergarten screening for students completing the VPK Education Program and who are administered both instruments of the Florida Kindergarten Readiness Screener (FLKRS). Kindergarten students scores on the Florida Assessments for Instruction in Reading (FAIR) assessment administered within the first 30 days of the school year must demonstrate a probability of reading success of .67 or higher to be considered “ready for kindergarten.” Kindergarten students scores on the Early Childhood Observation System™ (ECHOS) must indicate that the student is either “emerging/progressing” or “demonstrating” to be considered “ready for kindergarten.” In order for a provider to be considered to have successfully administered the VPK Education Program, the provider must have 70% of children score ready for kindergarten based upon FLKRS scores. Based upon the increased accountability standards, it is anticipated that the number of providers on probation will increase.
