Alphabet Assessment
You can either mark through the letters the children know with a highlighter or make a checkmark beside the letters with a pen. Use a different color highlighter or different color pen for each semester’s assessment. You can use this one sheet for a child for the whole year, and show a comparison of their progress with the different colors.
Math Assessment
Use the colored highlighters or pens mentioned above on this sheet also. For the color assessment, show children pieces of construction paper. I cut them into squares about 4 inches and staple them into a flip book. For the counting assessment, I have children count Unifix cubes.
Pre-K Alphabet & Math Assessment (On One Page)
This is the same Alphabet Assessment and Math Assessment above, but this one has the two assessmentsĀ combined on one sheet.

i just started a kindergarten school, i searched some ways to assess them, your work is really helpful to me
This is awesome! Thank you so much! I am a new teacher, and this will help me greatly! You have made my day! š
You are a life saver. I have worked with children for a few years, but this is a new experience for me to work with pre-k as the lead teacher. I had a few ideas of how to get organized and how to build their portfolios. Now I have a lot better picture of what I need to do when school starts. Just wanted to say thank you for making this site.
I am going to be teaching Pre-k students who are on the Autism Spectrum for the first time at our school in Maitland, Florida. It will be the first time our school has had this type of unit. Your site is helping me SO much! I really appreciate everything that it offers. Thank you!!!
You are truly an inspiration! I just was offered an Integrated Pre-K position and your website is so helpful in easing the first year teaching Pre-K jitters =)
Thank you for sharing all of this much needed information and free assessment forms. As a first year Pre-K teacher I have found them to be very helpful. God Bless!
Thank you. Your ideas were really helpful.
I love your website! Im on placement and this has been a blessing for me to have found you and will be using this next year when I start teaching preschool! I live in Adelaide and the kids are going to love these activities on Monday!!
VERY useful forms!!! THANKS for making them available!!!
Thanks a million!
Thank you for this awesome site. I truly love the information that you put here for teachers and families to use.
I found this site so helpful. I have done parent teacher conferences before and have used many different assessment tools but I found this site to help make it more simpler and easy. Thank you so much for posting these.
Thank you for your help! I am using all of your assessment sheets in my binder! I am a full time pre k teacher.
The resources are good resource for my teachers. Thank you Big time!
Hi! I was looking at your progress report and noticed that you had “N/A” marked for “answering story questions” for the month of December. Don’t assume children couldn’t answer questions about stories at the ages of 4 and 5. I have students who are awesome at answering story comprehension questions! With this being the age of Common Core, students need to be challenged and pushed to think at a higher level. Just giving my 2 cents! I enjoy your website and visit it often!
Hi Stacy, I’ve always done story comprehension all year long, including retelling stories and answering questions about stories. This is a progress report from my previous school, and we just simply did not assess that (and a few other things) during the month of December. I definitely know they are capable of doing it; it was simply left off to not overwhelm teachers during the first assessment time. You are welcome to adjust the progress report to your needs.
It’s a repeat, but I love your website, thank you for sharing.
Thanks a lot, this website is amazing! Very helpful!
I look forward to trying these documents. Thank you so much
Thank you for making this website. I am just start home schooling my 5 years old son. We live in Thailand. These information is very helpful.

Your website is amazing and I am using your documents to help me be more organized in the classroom.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!! I have been over the childcare center and teaching Child Dev. classes at the high school level for the last 4 years and have just opened a preschool out of my home— this has saved me SO much time trying to reinvent the wheel. I can’t thank you enough for helping! And FREE…. amazing.
Hi Karen
I’m diana from Indonesia, i like your website very much.You are inspiring me a lot…hopefully someday can meet you and learn from you directly
Thank you for these fabulous forms! I am starting homeschool pk 3 with my quadruplets and these are great for checking their progress. I’ll take a baseline now and check back in December and again in May.
Outstanding materials! The state of Georgia is sure lucky to have you, and I thank you so much for sharing.
THIS IS A REALLY NICE WEBSITE FOR PRESCHOOLERS
Thanks so much. I am using all your stuff to make my life easier. I appreciate you sharing… Happy Thanksgiving. Geri
I really like your website. It is very useful. Thank you for sharing so much resources and inspirational activities ?
I am a pre kinder teacher from Indonesia ?
Hi Karen,
Thanks so much for the classroom schedule signs. It was exactly what I needed. Just wondering if these assessment forms or for three year olds are the older kids. I teach three year olds. Thanks,
Diane
Thanks so much for the wonderful assessment tools!
Thank you for sharing this stuff. Thank you for your kindness.
I like the assessment form. It will help me a lot about observing the children and plan for the next activity that is suitable for each child.
Hi Karen,
I am having a little difficulty opening the alphabet assessment. I have not had this issue in the past. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Hi Faye, I wonder if maybe the Pinterest/Facebook buttons are in the way. I’ll have to try to fix this page so that those buttons don’t interfere. Meanwhile, click this link for the letter assessment: https://www.prekinders.com/pdf/alphabetassessment.pdf
I just got to say I love this site and you are the best! I am starting my first year of Pre-K teaching at the Daycare/School I work at. I use to be the Playschool Teacher(toddlers) but am stepping into a new position and am nervous trying to get everything organized for next month. This site is a life saver. I am finding things I didnt think of or was never clearly given to me or explained in school.
I love my toddlers but im excited but also a bit nervous for this new step and I really believe you just help ease some of the stress.
Thank you!
Thanks, Liz! Congrats on your new position!
I appreciate you posting and sharing. This will help me a lot with my prekindergarten class. I love the assessment forms. Thanks again.
I absolutely love these assessments and that you are willing to share! I am a special needs teacher for students a bit older however working on the same types of skills. I was wondering if you are willing to share your PreK report card in Word/Excel format so that I can edit with my IEP goals? I love the way it is all laid out on one page. It would be very helpful to me at IEP meetings for sharing data with parents and regular education teachers.
Hi Barbara! I would gladly share it if I had it. The original file was Excel, but a few years back, I had a hard drive crash and lost the file. I plan to remake the form at some point. It’s on my to-do list.
Many thanks Karen for sharing your resource with us, I pray God bless your continuously as you open your heart to share.
Do you happen to have an editable version of your assessment checklist page? I would like to use your form but add in a few skills, such as rhyming, syllables, tracking/counting words, positional words, and a few other items?
Hi Stephanie, I don’t have that available at this time, but I’m planning to work on that form this summer. The original file as lost years ago when my hard drive crashed, so all I have is the PDF right now. For next school year, I’ll have an improved version.
Thank you so much for these assessment tools, we have downloaded them and with some ‘localization adjustments,’ we will soon deploy them for assessing kids and supervising teachers.
You are an Amazing Wonder. God bless your heart ! I absolutely LOVE Prekinders. Everything I need to start the New Year off for my new, fresh Kinders! It’s not as easy as the end of the year…… Thanks A lot !!
Wow! I am so happy to come across your website, you really inspires me and you make every work easier. Big thumb up for you! I so much love Prekinders. God bless and increase you more on every side.
