Basic Skills Checklists

Basic Skills Checklists is an easy-to-use, informal assessment tool that brings method to the madness of classroom and home assessment. It 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 resource teachers, special educators, mainstream teachers, parents, and paraprofessionals. Simple, customizable charts make it easy to record children’s progress in skill areas such as basic concepts, reading/language, math, fine motor, and independence.

 

Checklists include concepts such as Identical Matching, Sorting, Body Parts. Categories, Sequencing, Alphabet Skills, Community Signs, Number Concepts, Basic Math, Calendar Time, Money, Functional Hand Skills, Clothing Management, Art, and Writing, School Skills, Schedule Use , Work Skills, Home-School Jobs and many others.

 

Although written for typical class room use and directed towards teachers with groups of children, this is easily adapted for home use and user friendly.  Reproducible for home use.
