Task Overview

This task assesses the counting sequence and counting forward to 20.  The assessment should be conducted one on one, but could be administered informally throughout the day. (e.g., walking to to lunch, at the water fountain etc.)

Task

1.      Say: Start at 1 and count as far as you can

(Allow students to count until they begin to make errors OR stop student after 100.)

2.      Say: Begin counting with the number 3.  I’ll tell you when to stop.

(Stop student at 9.)

      Repeat:

·         Begin at 6.  Stop student at 13.   

·         Begin at 11.  Stop student at 20.
