Early Literacy Observation Checklists
-
Storytime Observation Checklist (Early Talkers - newborn to two-years)
- Storytime Observation Checklist (Talkers - ages two and three)
- Storytime Observation Checklist (Pre-Readers - ages four and five)
The checklists above (in PDF) have been used as:
- a "self-check" for the storytime presenter
- a peer observation form to help improve storytimes
- a part of performance evaluations
The list under each Early Literacy Skill provides examples of possible activities that support the skill. Presenters are not required to do every activity for the skill. The presenter is also NOT limited to the activities listed.
