PreK Communication Skills Progress Monitoring Data Sheets Editable

About this resource

Everything inside: 21 pages, 559 type-in fields · four genuinely different ways to collect communication data (a weekly frequency tally by function and modality, a 14-opportunity structured trial log, a quick daily snapshot across six functions, and a plain-words paraprofessional/general-education form) · a 6-function, 4-modality code key · a whole-caseload roster · a binder cover and 4 cut-out tabs · a cumulative tracker and graph · a quarterly summary · a family update · a 20-starter phrase bank · a worked, invented example.

The store's only PreK-specific data file folds communication into one shared 13-row table alongside three other developmental areas. This file is the communication-only, deeper companion: six communicative functions a team watches at this stage — requesting, commenting, responding to name, responding to a simple question, imitating, and turn-taking — across however the child actually communicates (spoken word or approximation, an AAC system, gesture, or sign). Run the form that fits the moment, mark only what was actually observed, roll the week into a tracker and a quarterly report, and send a family update that is ready to go.

WHAT IS INCLUDED — 21 pages

Set Up The Caseload

• Code Key: Modalities, Support Levels and Functions — 4 modality codes, 4 support/response codes, 6 communicative-function codes with a plain description of what each looks like, a 3-item "before the first cycle" setup checklist, and a blank line for your team's own criteria

• PreK Communication Caseload Roster — 14 rows: child, group/classroom, function(s) tracked, modality(ies) used, setting, next review due

• Binder Cover and Divider Tabs — a spine/cover card, 4 cut-out tabs matching the file's sections, and a 10-row "where to find things" index

TAKE THE DATA (four genuinely different forms)

• Daily / Weekly Communication Frequency Tally — one row per function (6 rows) across 5 days plus a week-total row, with a worked "3 (AAC)" format example, and an optional 4-week quick-trend table (6 rows) for a fast read before a meeting

• Structured Communication Opportunity Trial Log — a 14-opportunity working bank (3 requesting, 2 commenting, 2 responding-to-name, 3 responding-to-a-question, 2 imitation, 2 turn-taking) with the opportunity and the target response printed ahead of time, and a row for what the child actually did and the support-level mark

• Quick Daily Communication Snapshot — a fast, six-function, Y/N/NOT OBSERVED weekly grid (a simpler code set than the trial log, defined on the page), plus a "move to the detailed trial log when" checklist

• Paraprofessional and General Education Communication Form — 12 rows, plain words instead of codes, for the adult in the room who is not the case manager

Track, Report And Share

• Cumulative Communication Tracker — two 12-session blocks (function 1, and an optional function 2), with date, percent independent and setting logged each session

• Progress Graph — a scaled 0–100 grid to plot the trend, with an aim line

• Quarterly Progress Summary — 6 rows (baseline, current level, one sentence per function), plus settings, percent then/now, and two write-on cards

• Family Update — Communication Skills — a ready-to-send communication page: what was worked on and the function, how the child communicated it most, something that went well, one thing to try at home, family questions and answers, and a 7-day practiced table

• Progress Note Phrase Bank — 20 observable-language starters across 5 groups (requesting/commenting, responding, imitation/turn-taking, next steps, the quarterly-report sentence), every one ending in a blank pulled from a data sheet in the file

Plus a Start Here quick-start, a 3-section contents page with real page thumbnails and a function-code legend, 3 section dividers, and a "what's next" back page.

What This Is, And What It Is Not

It is a fillable PDF. Open it in a PDF reader, click a field, type, Save As once per child. It works offline with no account or subscription. It is NOT a Google Sheets file, a Google Doc, or an Excel workbook, and it does not compute a percent or decide what counts as a function being met for you.

It is not the single shared "Communication Skills Data Sheet" inside Preschool and Early Childhood Progress Monitoring Data Sheets Editable — that is one 13-row table among four developmental areas. This file is the communication-only, deeper companion. It is also not AAC Data Collection Sheets Editable, which is built around one device's cue levels and vocabulary, and not Functional Communication Across Multiple Settings and Modalities Log Editable, the general, any-age, multi-setting sibling. No page in this file states an age a function "should" appear by, names a condition, or sets a rule for when a referral is warranted; every criterion is a blank line the team writes in from the IEP or plan and its own judgment. The opportunities, codes and functions on these pages are built for this file, not a standardized instrument. No health data is pre-filled anywhere, and the example child (Theo) is invented and named as such on page 20.

Who This Is For

Early-childhood special educators, SLPs, and PreK interventionists with a communication goal on the caseload, plus the paraprofessionals and general education teachers who help collect the data.

If You Want More

Preschool and Early Childhood Progress Monitoring Data Sheets Editable is the short, four-domain overview for a whole PreK caseload. Functional Communication Across Multiple Settings and Modalities Log Editable is the general, any-age sibling for a caseload beyond PreK.
