Two-Way Communication Check-In and Reflection for Ages 3–5

This printable check-in helps educators reflect on a play period, routine, or small-group conversation with a child ages 3–5. Tick the behaviors you noticed—from making space for the child to speak and listening for meaning to extending the conversation—then use the reflection prompts to plan one small next step. It supports responsive listening, children’s language development, and shared thinking in everyday interactions. Keep it handy for a quick post-activity reflection and to choose a question to try tomorrow.
