This kit includes six different assessments for pre-school students in math.  These curriculum-based measures of math performance were developed for use with 4-year old preschool children. Measures include counting objects, selecting numbers, naming numbers, selecting shapes, counting, and visual discrimination. This kit includes assessment manual, testing materials, scoring forms, timer and a training CD.

The measures have a strong scientific background. The reliability, validity, and utility of the measures have been evaluated and the results published in peer reviewed scholarly journals.  Technical properties, such as reliability and validity of probe scores have been assessed.  Alternate forms, source, and item reliability of probe scores were assessed.  Results were cross-validated with a second sample of children.  Concurrent validity of probe scores was assessed with the Brigance Screens and the Test of Early Mathematics Ability. The probes yielded reliable and meaningful estimates of early math skills.

The measures are designed for benchmark screening three times per year.  Following screening, the measures are useful to evaluate need for intervention with at-risk students.  Probe scores can be entered into the iSTEEP data management system to generate reports and interpretation.
