What this trial studies

This observational study focuses on evaluating prewriting skills in children aged 3 to 7 years using an innovative online assessment tool. The tool aims to automate the scoring process, making it more efficient and objective compared to traditional pencil-and-paper methods. By identifying children who struggle with prewriting skills early on, the study seeks to facilitate timely interventions that can support their development before they face more challenging academic demands. The assessment will be conducted remotely, allowing for broader data collection.
