Answering Questions. Level 1

The assessment kit for cognitive development “Answering Questions. Level 1” is designed to assess a child’s ability to engage in dialogue and respond to questions without visual prompts. It is based on structured checklists that make it possible to evaluate skills such as completing familiar phrases from songs and rhymes, producing animal sounds, and answering simple questions. The kit focuses on assessing knowledge of the surrounding world, including the ability to name objects by category (furniture, clothing, transport) and respond to questions using interrogative words such as “Who?”, “What?”, and “Where?”, demonstrating understanding of object functions, professions, and places. This approach helps identify the child’s strengths, determine areas where support is needed, and formulate clear practical recommendations for parents and educators on developing question-answering skills in everyday situations.  

The kit is suitable for use in early childhood settings, inclusive and special education classrooms, and early intervention centres. It helps establish a unified and transparent approach to assessing early language and cognitive skills, avoiding reliance on ad hoc or intuitive questioning by the specialist.
