Kindergarten will not be testing until mid-October.  Testing will be done on computers so some mouse skills are needed.  Please check out the links below.  If you have a desktop and your child can practice with the mouse, it will work best.  If you have a tablet or smartphone, it will work as well; however, testing will be down on desktop computers so that would be the best practice.
