Assessment in Emergent Literacy (Emergent and Early Literacy)

This handbook provides a practical and useable guide to identifying preschool and early school-aged children's strengths and needs across multiple domains of emergent and early literacy, to include phonological awareness, alphabet knowledge, print awareness, narrative, and vocabulary. Specific approaches to assessing and monitoring growth in "high priority" areas of literacy are provided. This handbook also provides guidance for evaluating children's learning environments, including supports with the home and classroom.
