Instructions Part1: Choose a focus – language use or literacy skills. In a Word document, develop an original assessment tool that measures and evaluates your chosen focus. The tool should include the following: Measurements of the child’s language use or literacy skills A minimum of five (5) indicators Part 2: Use your tool to observe a child from one of the following age groups: Toddlers (2-3 years), Preschool-age (3-5 years), or Young School-age (6-8 years). Perform the following: Assess one child for a minimum of 10 minutes during a literacy-heavy or language-heavy activity and make observation notes using your original assessment tool. Write a 1-2-page developmental goals document that includes the following: Description of the child’s age, any developmental attributes, and the setting. Based on the results of your observation, write three (3) achievable DAP goals for the child’s language or literacy development. For each goal, suggest a developmentally appropriate activity that might be best suited to support that goal.
