• A Felt Board Story

Next, your journal entry should contain the following two parts:

Part One – Observational Notes (ANECDOTAL NOTES)

• Select one of the two girls in the video and document your observations using anecdotal notes or running records.
• Create a developmental checklist that includes at least 6 Developmental Milestones and your State ELG’S in the domain of Language and Literacy.
• Complete the developmental checklist based on your observations.

Part Two – Reflection

• Reflect on what you learned from your observations and assessment and answer the following questions:
• What did you learn about this child in this observation?
• What goals did the child meet in the assessment?
• What other observation/assessment methods would give you more information about the child in the area of Language/Literacy?
• Name at least 2 additional methods and describe what data might be collected from these methods.
• What would the next milestones and/or goals be for this child
