Is there a recommended “best time” during a school year to administer IGDIs to preschool-aged children?
There is no recommended best time. Primarily, IGDIs were developed to show growth in a skill over time. So it really does not matter WHEN you administer them, only that you administer them frequently (at least one time per month) over time (5 to 6 months). I downloaded the stimulus pictures but seem to have overlooked the record form or protocol. Registered users can generate recording forms for individual children or for groups. Upon registration, you have access to our free online management tools, including recording forms. Make sure that you log into the site to have access to the whole menu of choices. After logging in, one of the choices in the purple menu bar includes “Recording Forms” and the choices of generating individual or group recording forms.
