AEPS-3 now includes two areas, Math and Literacy. 

AEPS assesses preliteracy skills by observing a child's interactions with books, print materials, and their ability to understand and use language. It looks at early literacy behaviors such as attending to books, turning pages, and demonstrating interest in print.

AEPS assesses numeracy skills by observing a child's understanding of basic number concepts, counting skills, and the ability to recognize and use numbers in their environment.

AEPS assesses pre-writing skills by observing a child's fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and their ability to make marks or shapes on paper.

In each of these areas, AEPS emphasizes individualized assessment and intervention. The assessment process helps educators and caregivers understand a child's current abilities and areas where they may need support. The curriculum and activities are then tailored to the child's specific needs and developmental stage to promote growth and skill development.

It's important to note that AEPS is designed to be flexible and adaptable to each child's unique strengths and challenges. Educators and caregivers use it as a tool to create individualized plans that support the holistic development of young children, including their preliteracy, numeracy, and pre-writing skills.
