Formative assessment is an ongoing evaluation process that helps teachers to monitor and support children's learning. It involves gathering feedback and evidence of the children's understanding through methods such as talk partners, questioning strategies, peer/self-assessment, and oral and written feedback. Formative assessment provides valuable insights into children's strengths, areas to develop and misconceptions. This enables teachers to make timely adjustments to their teaching strategies, provide targeted interventions, and enhance progress in real-time.
