ILTS 206 Sub-Area 1 Practice Question #12
Which of the following informal assessment tools would be most useful for documenting a preschool child's ability to perform specific skills?
This question requires the examinee to recognize informal assessments and their applications in early childhood programs. Although more subjective than various other assessments, a rating scale is a quick, efficient way to gather information without disrupting learning.
Using a rating scale over time would allow the teacher to monitor and document a child’s performance of specific skills and to provide timely intervention as necessary.
