We all know the importance of preschool assessment – it helps us understand our little learners and tailor our teaching to their needs. But traditional assessment periods can sometimes feel overwhelming. Testing all of the skills multiple times per year is exhausting and unnecessary!

Let me introduce you to 'The Storybook Method'.

Topics Discussed:

• Why use the Storybook Method for Preschool Assessment?
• The Skill Break-Down
• What to do about Re-Assessing
