🎅 Christmas · Can-do check-sheet
4–6 agesPointing and repeating should feel easy now — the goal is naming words alone.
Can point — Finds the right picture when you say the word.
Can say — Repeats the word clearly after you.
Can name — Says the word on their own when shown the picture.
Words the child can name alone: _____ of 16
How to mark: ✓ can do · ◐ almost · ○ not yet
How to use it in class
A few children per lesson. Don't test the whole class at once: check three or four children while the others play a game. One sheet per child lasts the whole unit.
Climb the ladder, stop at the first gap. Say a word and ask the child to point to it on the poster; then to repeat it; then show a picture and wait for them to name it. Where they first get stuck is what to teach next.
Use “almost”, then check again. ◐ means “almost” — said with help, or with a sound missing. Repeat the check at the end of the unit in another colour, and parents see the progress on one sheet.
