Abstract: | The recent emphasis on universal prekindergarten programs, coupled with ongoing concern about children’s’ early literacy development
in the first years of school, carry significant implications for how preschool educators program for literacy and assess literacy
growth. We discuss the evolving role of literacy development in expanded preschool, examine key features of literacy assessments
with particular attention to the content that might be assessed in preschool, and provide as an example one preschool literacy
assessment tool that is in widespread use in the United States. We discuss the policy and practice implications of the growing
emphasis on literacy assessment in preschoolers. |
