Together
Cambridge Early Years Check
Together
• Check Together is our story-based
digital assessment.

• It’s designed to support our curriculum,


covering early literacy, numeracy and
social & emotional development​.

• It helps measure each child’s starting


point of ability. And their progress through
the year.

• We recommend using it alongside


your observational assessment in the
classroom​.
How does it work?
• The teacher sits with the learner and
guides them through the different
activities.

• In most cases, the learner answers


the questions by pointing at the
screen or saying the answer aloud.

• The teacher marks each answer right


or wrong.
Examples - Literacy
Examples - Mathematics
Personal, Social and Emotional Development (PSED)
Check Together can be used twice per year
Shortly after the learner starts, and again at the end of the year.
The reports show the progress the child has made during the year.

Do you know what stage they are currently at?
What do I need to know?
• Child development
• The child
• When to observe
• Communication
Working with parents.
• Parents know their child best.
• Reflect:
• How do you share information with
parents?
• How do you involve parents in their
child’s learning?
• What do you do with parental
information?
• What else could you do?
What else could you do to help the child’s development
progress?
What happens next?
Make a difference through your observations and assessments.
Observations in practice.

• What do you do next to support children’s


progress?
1. A child is playing with some blocks,
trying to build a car but it keeps
collapsing.
2. At drop off, a parent reports that at the
weekend the family went to a wedding.
3. A group of children often role-play
outside, frequently being builders in the
sand pit.
4. Whilst playing with a child, you struggle
to understand what the child is saying.
