Jenna is assessing her kindergartener's ability to identify letters. She asks each child to identify the letters found in his or her name. Is Jenna's assessment approach likely to be valid? Is it likely to be reliable? Explain in each case
What will be an ideal response?
This assessment lacks validity because children are likely to know the letters in their own names, and identifying the letters in their own names doesn't give the teacher information about their ability to identify letters that don't appear in their own names. The assessment would likely be quite reliable, since the teacher can easily and consistently determine whether or not the children can identify the letters in their names.
