TALK Checklist – Single Child

Use the TALK strategy during your warm-up activity or throughout the day as you engage children in conversations, observing how they use language to express their thoughts, wants, needs and feelings. Then, use the checklist to observe a target child as they engage in conversations with adults and other children. *Note: This checklist was adapted from a multiple child form for the purpose of this assignment (Rollins Center for Language and Literacy, 2019).*

Child’s Age/Grade:

Date:

Child says1-3 word phrases using Tier 1 words

Child is unable to respond verbally but attempts to communicate through non-

verbal means (such as pointing, crying, gestures)

List Tier 2 words the child used independently:

Background Information

Liam Rodriguez is a 40-month-old boy attending Little Explorers Daycare. He lives with his father and older sister. Liam's father mentioned that while Liam is very energetic, he sometimes struggles with following instructions and expressing himself verbally.

Assessment Details

Two assessments were conducted (scoresheets have been posted to iCollege):

1. TALK Checklist

2. Alphabet Knowledge Assessment

Results

TALK Checklist

Liam's language skills were observed during an interactive storybook reading activity:

· He primarily used 1-3 word phrases using Tier 1 (basic) vocabulary.

· Occasionally, he attempted complete sentences but often left them unfinished.

· Liam used one Tier 2 (more sophisticated) word independently: "gigantic."

· He frequently relied on non-verbal communication, such as pointing and gesturing, to supplement his limited verbal expressions.

Alphabet Knowledge Assessment

Liam demonstrated the following skills:

· Uppercase letter recognition: 10/26 (38%)

· Lowercase letter recognition: 7/26 (27%)

· Letter sound identification: 5/26 (19%)

He showed particular strength in recognizing letters A, B, O, L, and S as well as identifying the sound these letters made when modeled by the teacher. Liam struggled with most other letters, often confusing similar-looking letters or not attempting to identify them at all.

Total Points = 20 (2 points for each question)

Instructions: Download a copy of this quiz so that you can add your answers to the document. Read the case study and assessment score sheets. Provide written responses (in paragraph format) for the quiz questions. Submit the quiz with your responses.

1. Based on Liam’s age, what expressive language skills does the GELDS suggest that Liam should have? Please reference the specific standard/indicator code/s and description/s.

2. Based on Liam’s performance, Identify the next steps for instruction to support his expressive language. Specify which developmentally appropriate teaching strategies should be used.

3. Based on Liam’s TALK checklist results, what is the next level of expressive language skills that you would support Liam in reaching? What activities (besides book reading) would you use to observe or assess if Liam is moving towards the next level?

4. What can Liam’s parent do at home to support his expressive language? Write about at least one research-based recommendation you can share with parents to support this child's expressive language (directly tie this to the child’s performance). Make sure the recommendation is low-cost and easy to do at home. Use the readings from the course for tips.

5. Based on Liam’s age, what alphabet knowledge skills does the GELDS suggest that Liam should have? Please reference the specific standard/indicator code/s and description/s.

6. Based on Liam’s performance, Identify the next steps for instruction to support his alphabet knowledge. Specify which developmentally appropriate teaching strategies should be used.

7. Based on Liam’s Alphabet Knowledge Assessment Results, what are the next five letter names you would focus on teaching Liam? Why did you choose those five?

8. Based on Liam’s Alphabet Knowledge Assessment Results, what are the next five letter sounds you would focus on teaching Liam? Why did you choose those five?

9. What can Liam’s parent do at home to support his letter name and sound knowledge? Write about at least one research-based recommendation you can share with parents to support this child's letter name and sound knowledge (directly tie this to the child’s performance). Make sure the recommendation is low-cost and easy to do at home. Use the readings from the course for tips.

10. What other aspects of early literacy would you assess to get comprehensive knowledge of Liam’s emergent literacy skills? How are your suggested areas of assessment related to the skills assessed in this case study?
