Cognitive ToyBox: Data-based assessment tool to accelerate progress in early childhood literacy

Description:

This study focused on the experiences of three preschool teachers from the Davie County School system who participated in a pilot program to evaluate the effectiveness of a new assessment system. The pilot program partnered with Cognitive ToyBox, an innovative company that developed a game-based platform with a strong research foundation. Through the use of touchscreen devices, students engaged in one assessment game per week, with each game lasting an average of five minutes. Teachers gained access to reports aligned with North Carolina standards, providing valuable insights to guide instructional planning and support the unique needs of individual students. Study Goals: 1. To explore the efficacy of the Cognitive ToyBox assessment system in enhancing the assessment process 2. To understand the improvement on instructional planning 3. To address individual student needs in alignment with N.C. educational standards.  (author abstract)
