The correct answer is: To determine the literacy knowledge of kindergarten and early first grade children

The Concepts About Print (CAP) assessment is primarily designed to determine the literacy knowledge of kindergarten and early first grade children. This assessment focuses on fundamental early literacy skills, such as understanding how print works, recognizing letters, and knowing how to hold a book. These competencies are essential for young learners as they begin to navigate the written language. By measuring this foundational knowledge, educators can identify areas where students may need support and instruction, ensuring they are equipped with the necessary skills to progress in reading. This early understanding sets the stage for further reading development and comprehension as children advance in their education.
