ReplyDeleteObservation of children's participation during classroom activities.
Oral questioning and classroom discussions.
Storytelling, retelling, and picture reading.
Reading aloud to assess fluency and comprehension.
Conversations and interviews with children.
Play-based and activity-based assessments.
Role play, drama, and group activities.
Drawing, colouring, and creative expression.
Portfolio assessment by collecting children's work over time.
Checklists and rating scales to monitor developmental progress.
