An Observation Survey

An Observation Survey of Early Literacy Achievement

Leader-Directed Professional Learning Module

This leader-directed module focuses on the six tasks of the Observation Survey that provide comprehensive information about a child’s literacy behaviors across several dimensions of learning.

It was developed to accompany the 2013 third edition of the book – An Observation Survey of Early Literacy Achievement – by Marie M. Clay.

The module will help participants administer, score, and use the results of a child’s recorded literacy behaviors.
