Basic Skills Checklists is an easy-to-use, informal assessment tool that provides a systematic method for tracking student skills.

This book focuses on pre-academic, readiness, and academic skills expected from learners in the early elementary years. Author and experienced teacher Marlene Breitenbach developed these helpful checklists in special-needs and inclusive classrooms while serving children with autism and other developmental disabilities. The checklists have been used by classroom and resource teachers, special educators and paraprofessionals.

This flexible tool is great for one-on-one or group assessment!
