The Assessment of Story Comprehension (ASC) is used to measure preschool children’s story comprehension. It was developed using a general outcome measurement framework so that it can be used for progress monitoring throughout the preschool year. There are six individual ASC forms, and each form includes a teacher script with a brief story followed by a series of eight comprehension questions about the story, including one vocabulary item. Child responses are recorded and scored on a 0-1-2 scale (except for the vocabulary item), with 0 indicating incorrect and 2 indicating correct, complete, and clear. The ASC form takes about 3 minutes to administer and 1 minute to score. While the ASC was designed to measure comprehension gains following intervention, it can also be used to monitor comprehension for any preschooler exposed to classroom curriculum across the pre-K year. It can also serve as a useful tool for monitoring the English language growth of English-language learners.
