ABC: What is the purpose of ABC Names and Numbers?

 Answer

ABC Names & Numbers was developed as a formative checklist to support teachers in monitoring PK4 student's growth in alignment to the PK4 guidelines. It is intended to be used as a voluntary untimed, randomized checklist for PK teachers to administer to students if desired. Please note, the ABC Names & Numbers is not a valid and reliable measure.

Correction

In September 2024, an error was found and corrected in this measure. Not all students had the opportunity to demonstrate their recognition of the number 10. To ensure children have the opportunity to demonstrate all the numbers 0-10, we recommend teachers reassess ABC Names and Numbers during MOY and EOY.
