Direct observations involve watching and recording a child’s performance during activities to assess skills such as social interactions, motor skills, and problem-solving abilities. This method provides real-time insights into a child’s behavior and capabilities.
Standardized tests in VKRP are used to provide a consistent measure of specific skills and knowledge across all children. These tests ensure that evaluations are reliable and comparable, allowing for a fair assessment of a child's readiness in areas such as numeracy and literacy.
VKRP uses observational checklists to measure a child's self-regulation, behavior management, and ability to follow directions. These checklists allow evaluators to systematically observe and record behaviors related to self-control and interaction with others.
The language and literacy tasks in VKRP focus on assessing letter recognition, phonological awareness, and other foundational literacy skills. These tasks are designed to evaluate a child's early understanding of language and their ability to engage with written text.
