Another POCET Literacy Example
POCET provides four basic activities for each of the 68 Developmental Guidelines which provide a scope and sequence of skills for Language, Literacy and Mathematics, plus five other domains of learning.
Here is another example for the Literacy domain:
Play Your Name
During circle time, try the activity, "Play Your Name." For this game, the children need to pick a movement for each word part in their name. The movements could include clapping, waving, jumping, smiling, sneezing, etc. Children with a one-word part (syllable) name need to only choose one action. Children with more than one word part should choose a different action for each word part. Example: Jordan chose to clap and stomp. He did two actions because his name has two word parts. JOR (clap), DAN (stomp). This game could turn into a "Follow the Leader" game with the other children doing the same actions as they say Jordan's name.

The Preschool Observation Checklist and Evaluation Tool (POCET) was created to assist early childhood educators in organizing and maintaining an assessment system to monitor each child's development and to guide instructional practices. This individualization tool is organized to support any preschool curriculum chosen for the classroom. POCET is divided into six easy steps and two binders, and includes materials to individualize instruction for up to 25 children.
