A child’s first years are a time of amazing growth—and early childhood educators can have a tremendously
positive impact on each youngster’s success in school and in life. Research shows that early childhood screening
and assessment tools can be very valuable in helping plan early interventions and in fostering children’s success.
Pearson is proud to offer high-quality instruments that are both easy-to-use and powerful. Developed by early
childhood experts, these tests enable you to monitor developmental progress and readily identify youngsters for
whom early intervention may be appropriate.
The proven assessments featured in this catalog can help pinpoint children’s strengths and weaknesses and
focus your intervention strategies—enabling you to increase positive outcomes for the young ones you serve.
Evaluating Children’s Performance and Progress
“The research is solid and there’s no debate about the lifetime benefits that high-quality preschool education brings to young children.”
Vincent L. Ferrandino, Executive Director, NAESP
“It is well-established that participation of parents and caregivers in the earliest stages of a child’s academic development is one of the best ways to ensure that child’s future success.”
National Head Start Associate Issue Brief

Taking an authentic approach, our observation tools present practical
frameworks to help you systematically evaluate and document children’s
growth. These instruments enable you to engage parents more fully—and to
meet federal mandates, including Head Start requirements. They also feature
dynamic online options to help streamline assessment and reporting.

An authentic, proven performance assessment.As busy as you are helping kids grow in a myriad of ways, it can be difficult to find time in the day for measuring that growth. Taking your already full plate into account, The Work Sampling System offers a natural assessment that fits right in with your existing curriculum.
For use with preschool through grade six, The Work Sampling System does not dictate instructional methods. Rather, it presents clear criteria for collecting information on the child’s work and comparing it to grade-specific standards so that you can systematically document children’s skills, knowledge, behavior, and academic accomplishments. Providing one of the most highly validated performance assessments available, The Work Sampling System can help you refine instruction to meet children’s individual needs.

Product detailsThe Work Sampling System® includes three main, interrelated elements, customized for each grade level:
Portfolios The Work Sampling System provides a systematic plan for collecting portfolio samples three times a year, ensuring that the child’s work is represented across seven major curriculum areas: personal and social development, language and literacy, mathematical thinking, scientific thinking, social studies, the arts, and physical development and health.
Developmental guidelines and Checklists Covering seven curriculum areas, the guidelines give you a set of observational criteria that correlate with state and national standards. Skills, behaviors, and academic expectations are presented in one-sentence performance indicators.
Summary Reports Summary Reports replace conventional report cards as a way of recording progress, communicating with parents, and meeting reporting requirements. Using information from the Developmental Checklists and Portfolio, you complete a Summary Report three times a year.

Help parents become keener observers of developmental milestones. Most parents are quick to relate their kid’s “golden moments”—the first step, the first word, the funny dance. But they may not realize the more subtle yet important indicators of their child’s growth. The Ounce Scale provides a structure to help parents observe a range of relevant behaviors—so that you can better assess the child’s development.

activities written especially for Parents and Caregivers.
Winning Ways to Learn corresponds with Work Sampling and provides ideas for parents and caregivers to use that help children learn as you go about your everyday activities. These titles will help your child become a successful and enthusiastic learner by showing you how to support him or her in developing the skills and attributes that are important in the formative years. See p. 48.
Product detailsWork Sampling for Head Start includes three main, interrelated components just like the ones used in The Work Sampling System on pp. 4–5:
• Portfolios
• Developmental Guidelines and Checklists
• Family Report
Scoring and reporting• Standards-based Developmental
Guidelines Performance Indicators result in a score of “Not Yet,” “In Progress,” or “Proficient.”
• Using information collected with the Developmental Checklists, you complete a Family Report three times a year to evaluate the child’s current level of performance and growth over time.
We provide brief, reliable screening tests to assist you in identifying kids
who may need that extra bit of support and further assessment to make the
best start possible. These popular measures can help you conduct universal
screening in an RTI environment and meet federal guidelines. Some of these
tools assess infants as well as toddlers, others offer technology tools to simplify
data collection and reporting, and several are available in Spanish.

Simplifies large-group screening.When it comes to museum outings and nature walks with young children, you know that finding easy ways to handle group needs is essential. And the same holds true for screening. That’s why the Developmental Indicators for the Assessment of Learning, Third Edition, (DIAL-3) has proven to be so popular among early childhood educators.
This efficient tool allows you to quickly assess large groups across learning domains—using fun activities that keep children engaged. For added convenience, DIAL-3 ASSIST™ software enables fast computer scoring and helps ensure accuracy. A shorter version of the instrument, Speed DIAL, offers you a handy option for screening children who enter the program later in the school year.
Product detailsYou administer DIAL-3 by presenting stimuli one at a time using a dial, manipulatives, and other materials. To give you comprehensive information, the assessment screens all five early childhood areas:
• Motor
• Language
• Concepts
• Self-help development
• Social development
Recommended uses• DIAL-3 is used for large-group screening by preschool and kindergarten teachers,
early childhood specialists, and child development center personnel.

The round sticks make a castle
They are good for building stick towers
Pine needles all around
They are my friends
They help the leaves

They walk to the leaves
And put them in the leaf pile

I could build leaf castles and towers

The SSIS provides you with a multi-component system that supports early identification of young ones who may need extra help in building prosocial skills. Based on research with hundreds of teachers across the country, the SSIS can help you readily incorporate social skills instruction into your regular curricula.
Use these tools for universal screening at the start of the school year to help you identify youngsters at risk for academic or social behavior difficulties, then to help plan interventions for improving these behaviors, and then to evaluate progress on targeted skills following intervention. With this coordinated system, you can help lay the groundwork for children’s long-term behavioral and academic success.
