Answer 4

Assess the child by asking questions pertaining to the activity that you have just taught. Children are very good at narration.

Answer 5

Talk to the preschooler they are pretty good at identifying (with a little help) what they have learned. eg "have you ever built a tower that high before - no? Why didn't it work before, do you have to put the bricks like this and this. Wow! thats pretty good. What else do you have to do to stop it from falling down?

Observation usually helps too.

Answer 6

You could make a game out of things.  We do this with our son and it really works!  For example, we're doing simple math with him right now (he's 4 1/2) so, we'll run through stuff and let him absorb it.  Later in the day we ask him what 2+2 is.....he'll say 4 right away.  Then we get him to ask us and, we give a number that's one or 2 digits off.  He then corrects us and it makes it fun for him.  Also, just simply asking and repeating really works too!!

Answer 7

After the activity in question ask the child to explain to you in their own words what they just did and how they did it. Then ask them what they enjoyed and what they found hard. this will give you a baseline and also allow for processing of the task for the child. You will also be able to see whether they gained the main concepts so you know what if anything to go back over.

We learn over 90% of what we teach, so by getting the child to explain the task back to you allows for this area of learning to be tapped into.

Another way would be to focus the activity using task you know the child can manage competently and add in one 'target' task, then test for this skill afterwards. For example:- you know a child can name three colours add in a forth then test for knowledge.

Observing the child redo the task will also allow for you to see whether they have internalised the concepts, but are unable to verbalise them.

The key is to be clear on what you are teaching and watch out for other things the child may have spontaneously picked up from the task. If you notice that they do this comment, praise and ask them to explain to make it explicit and compound the knowledge.

Hope this helps

Answer 8

Ask the child what they thought or learned from the activity.  See how the child utilizes the principles learned in other situations.
