Pre-Kindergarten Assessment

Pre-Kindergarten Assessment
Liberty Source has been successfully helping pre-kindergarten teachers assess and instruct their students.  We offer several different types of assessments - from one-on-one observational assessments to independent student assessments, or a hybrid of part independent and part teacher-led. Teachers can find the best way to assess their students and use the powerful Tango reports to group their students, find activities to reinforce skills, and re-assess the students.

LION/LEON for PK

The Learning Inventory of Need (LION) and the Spanish version, Lecciones de Evaluación basado en Objectivos y Necesidades (LEON) pre-kindergarten assessment covers the major early literacy domains.

Early Literacy Skills

Students will be guided through items regarding:

• Pre-Reading
• Reading Engagement
• Uppercase Letter Name/Letter Sound
• Lowercase Letter Name/Letter Sound
• Rhyming
• Vocabulary
• Initial Sound Identification
• Listening Comprehension
• Separating Words in a Sentence
• Making Compound Words
• Separating/Blending Syllables
• Onset-Rime

Administration

The assessment is broken up into 4 parts. The first three parts can be done independently on a computer by the student or one-on-one with the teacher. The fourth part is teacher administered only.

Guidelines

Developed based on national and state guidelines for early literacy, LION and LEON will help teachers provide targeted instruction to Pre-kindergarten students.  Cutpoints for mastery take the student's age into consideration - so 3 year old are evaluated differently than 4 year olds.

PK Progress Monitoring

Based on teacher feedback and research, Liberty Source has created quick progress monitoring probes for Letter Name, Letter Sound, Vocabulary, and Rhyming. These 1-2 minute checks can be done between ANY beginning, middle, and end of year assessments to evaluate a student's progress regarding these skills.
