Answering Questions. Level 2

The assessment kit for cognitive development “Answering Questions. Level 2” is designed for children who already manage the simplest questions and are progressing toward understanding more complex ones. The kit includes carefully selected sets of cards with both simple and complex story scenes for detailed description, short narrative texts to assess auditory comprehension and memory, and structured question lists to assess understanding of time categories (“When?”), causality (“Why?”), and object properties. Particular attention is given to assessing the child’s ability to produce monologic speech, including describing familiar places (such as a shop or playground) and talking about personal experiences (what they did yesterday and what they will do tomorrow). The kit enables specialists to assess not only the child’s knowledge of the surrounding world, but also the level of logical thinking expressed in speech, the ability to form extended sentences, and to maintain narrative coherence.

The kit is suitable for early childhood settings, school readiness groups, primary, inclusive, and special education classrooms, as well as psychological and educational support centres, and provides a unified approach to assessing question comprehension and coherent speech.
