I would like to know what type of assessment activities I could/should do to assess the current level of understanding and development of a 4 year old. Maybe something along the lines of an assessment that a Reception teacher would use when children first enter the school. Any links to relevant URLs would be great. I am a teacher, but more experienced with upper juniors. I have been asked to do this assessment as a favour to a friend and I want to get it right! Thanks in advance.
