Which traveling skill example best fits PreK4?

• A. Runs around without changing direction
• B. Steers wheelchair into small playground spaces.
• C. Walks slowly with hands in pockets
• D. Sits and watches others

Answer: (B)

Travel skills at PreK4 focus on moving safely and purposefully through spaces, using basic spatial awareness to navigate around or through obstacles. Steering a wheelchair into small playground spaces best fits this stage because it requires the child to assess a tight area, plan a path, and make directional adjustments to fit through safely. It shows controlled movement, coordination, and safety awareness while using an assistive device, all of which align with developing traveling abilities. The other examples show movement that is either unstructured, minimal, or absent, which do not demonstrate purposeful navigation through a space.
