What is a Pre-Reading Skills Assessment, and why is it important? Here’s what you need to know:
Children develop pre-reading skills at their own pace. However, if a child struggles with early reading development, professional support can provide strategies to strengthen their literacy foundation.
When it comes to pre-reading skills, we need to assess 4 aspects of reading. It includes-
1. Verbal Language
Verbal language is the ability to understand and communicate clearly with others. By developing your child’s verbal language skills, you are increasing their vocabulary and speaking skills. This will help your child enjoy stories, and improve their comprehension & listening skills.
2. Letter Recognition
Naming and recognizing letters, a crucial early step in reading development.
3. Phonological Awareness
The ability to recognize and manipulate sounds in spoken words, essential for future reading success.
4. Early Writing Skills
Developing fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination needed for writing.
Why are Pre-Reading Skills Assessments important?
Pre-reading skills assessment for preschoolers is important because it helps parents and teacher to know the level of their students. Teachers can also monitor a child’s progress based on this assessment. These assessments can help to predict a child’s future reading skills and help identify children who might have certain disabilities when it comes to reading.
