Dear Parents:
I am a student at Gaston College and am taking EDU 185 Cognitive and Language Activities. As a
requirement for this course, we are to conduct an assessment entitled Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early
Literacy Skills and then write a paper on the experience. I am asking permission to conduct the
assessment with your child ____________________. I will share with you any information I learn in my
assessment. The information I collect is confidential and will not be discussed with anyone but my EDU
185 instructor. I will not use your child's real name in any discussions with my instructor, nor will I use
his/her real name in any written documents including my final paper. All information collected are to be
used for educational purposes only as a part of this assignment.
If you have any questions, you may contact the Early Childhood Program Lead Instructor, Dr. Eileen
Yantz 704-922-6533. Thank you for allowing me this important learning experience and opportunity to
get to know your child.
Sincerely, EDU 185 Student
