At ABC Early Learning, you are a curriculum specialist who works with all age groups. To support your team, you need to develop and implement an original assessment tool that will provide a better understanding of where their children stand with language or literacy development.

Choose a focus - language use or literacy skills. In a Word document, develop an original assessment tool which 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 indicators

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 ten minutes during a literacy or language-heavy activity and make observation notes using your original assessment tool.
• one to two 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 achievable DAP goals for the child's language or literacy development.
• For each goal, suggest a developmentally appropriate activity which might be best suited to support that goal.
