This worksheet is a Communication Skill Assessment for Kindergarteners. Its purpose is to evaluate a child’s communication abilities in both verbal and non-verbal areas.
How it Works:
- Observation: The assessor observes the child in different social settings.
- Rating Scale: The assessor uses a rating scale of 1 (Rarely or Never) to 4 (Consistently) to evaluate the child’s skills.
- Verbal Communication: The assessment focuses on the child’s ability to initiate conversations, express thoughts clearly, use age-appropriate language, and take turns in conversations.
- Non-verbal Communication: The assessment looks at the child’s use of gestures, facial expressions, body language, and eye contact to communicate effectively.
Purpose:
- Identify Strengths and Weaknesses: The assessment helps to pinpoint a child’s strengths and weaknesses in communication.
- Early Intervention: If any communication difficulties are identified, early intervention strategies can be put in place.
- Tailored Support: The results can be used to develop individualized plans to support the child’s communication development.
- Progress Monitoring: The assessment can be used over time to track a child’s progress in communication skills.
This worksheet is a valuable tool for educators and caregivers to understand and support a kindergartener’s communication development.
