The Observation Survey of Early Literacy Achievement

The Observation Survey of Early Literacy Achievement is a tool used by educators to assess young children's reading and writing skills through careful observation of their classroom behaviors and interactions. Instead of relying solely on tests, teachers watch activities like how children recognize words, understand story content, and how they engage with books. This ongoing monitoring helps identify each child's strengths and areas needing support, guiding targeted teaching strategies to promote literacy development effectively during early education.
