Academic Skills. Level 1

The assessment kit for cognitive development “Academic Skills. Level 1” is designed for children at the earliest stage of learning readiness. Play-based activities help assess a child’s ability to differentiate basic features (colour, shape, and size), understand quantity, recognise simple number symbols, demonstrate early pre-writing skills, follow simple verbal instructions, and complete modelled actions. It also evaluates early elements of learning behaviour, including starting and completing a task, maintaining attention, and transitioning between activities. Based on the results, a specialist can identify the child’s strengths, determine areas requiring support, and provide clear recommendations for further development of academic skills.

The kit is suitable for early childhood settings, inclusive and special education classrooms, and psychological and educational support centres. It helps establish a unified and consistent approach to assessing early academic skills. The pre-selected materials save specialists time, make assessment feedback clearer for parents, and enhance an institution’s professional credibility by demonstrating a systematic approach to evaluation and planning of a child’s development.
