Start The Year With a Student Interest Inventory (K-2)

We all know that student interest and instruction are closely linked – even in kindergarten! The more interested a student is in the content, the more engaged they will be in the learning, and the easier it will be for them to connect to new ideas. Therefore, taking time during the initial getting-to-know-you period at the beginning of the school year is crucial. That’s where a Student Interest Inventory comes in handy!

This picture-based Student Interest Inventory Pack is the perfect tool to use with your kindergarten, first, and second-grade students during the first week of school to:

• learn more about their learning style preferences
• understand more about their personality and outlook on school
• establish and maintain a positive relationship with your students.
• obtain the information to help you tailor your instruction to meet each student’s individual needs and preferences throughout the school year.

A Student Inventory Survey for Little Learners

Designed especially for early primary learners, this printable Student Inventory Survey uses emojis and pictures to help even your youngest students share their interests, feelings, and learning preferences. This visual tool can help you quickly gather information about what motivates and excites your students, making it easier to plan engaging lessons and build meaningful classroom experiences starting on the very first day!

This student inventory survey features two variations — one with emoji-based responses geared toward students’ likes and dislikes, and the other geared toward their learning style preferences. With these templates, your students can show how they feel about school subjects, share their favourite classroom activities, and reveal how they like to learn best.

Once students complete their student interest inventory, you can use the information to help you build and implement classroom experiences that meet students where they are. You can use the surveys to identify common interests for group projects, plan engaging lessons that link to students’ favourite topics, and differentiate your daily learning activities to different learning preferences. The responses given can also provide valuable insights for parent conferences and goal-setting activities, helping you create a classroom culture that celebrates individuality and fosters connection from the beginning of the school year.
