Instructions for completing the ASQ-3
Welcome to First Class Pre-K!
As part of being selected for Pre-K you will need to complete the ASQ-3 screener on your child.
1. What is the ASQ-3?
The ASQ-3 provides a quick check of your child’s development
Your answers will show your child’s strengths and any areas in which your child may need more help or practice
2. ASQ-3 Tips
Try each activity with your child before you mark a response
Make this a game that’s fun for you and your child
Depending on the age of your child it will be helpful to have all/some of the following readily available
Large and small ball, ruler, yardstick or tape measure, child safe scissors, paper, pencil or crayon
3. How ASQ-3 works
There are five developmental areas of ASQ-3
1. Communication: Your child’s language skills, both what your child understands and what he or she can say
2. Gross Motor: How your child uses his or her arms and legs and other large muscles for sitting, crawling,
walking, running, and other activities
3. Fine Motor: Your child’s hand and finger movement and coordination
4. Problem Solving: How your child plays with toys and solves problems
5. Personal-Social: Your child’s self-help skills and interactions with others
The OVERALL section asks questions about your child’s overall development and about any concerns you may have. This is important information that will help your child’s teacher best meet the needs of your child.
4. The three response options on ASQ-3 questionnaires and what they mean
The ASQ-3 questionnaire will ask you to choose one of three possible answers.
Yes means that your child is performing the skill
Sometimes says that your child is just beginning to perform the skill or does it on occasion
Not yet indicates that your child is not yet performing the skill
5. The results will be shared with you by your Pre-K Teacher
Teachers will share the results with you during your Fall Family Conference in October
