Abstract
The purpose of the literature review is to analyze existing medical criteria and methods for determining children's readiness for first-grade education for the subsequent development and implementation of effective measures to prevent adaptation disorders in future first-graders.
This article examines the stages of preparing children for school, assessing their readiness for learning, and medical and psychophysiological criteria for assessing their adaptation to school. A child's level of readiness for first-grade schooling is determined by their health and previous development.
The authors emphasize that adaptation in first grade will be successful if the preschooler's body is properly prepared.
A key factor influencing subsequent adaptation in first grade is the child's health, which is monitored by a pediatrician and paramedical staff in children's clinics and educational institutions.
In this regard, the joint role of health professionals and teachers in the timely identification and correction of health problems in children at an early age is equally important.
