Development of measures to assess young children's early academic skills: Preliminary findings from a Head Start-University partnership

Description:
The Early Arithmetic and Reading Learning Indicators (EARLI) Project is a Head Start-University partnership aimed at providing practitioners with brief, easy-to-administer, and psychometrically sound progress-monitoring measures of children's early literacy and mathematics skills. The development of these measures is an important contribution to the field of special education as early assessment can lead to early identification of learning difficulties, which in turn allows educators to target interventions toward young children at risk for developing learning problems later in their academic careers. In this article, we (a) provide both a historical and a research-based rationale for the EARLI project, (b) detail preliminary findings from the first year of the project, and (c) discuss directions for future research.
