Marie Clay's indicator tests book handling concepts such as front/back and top/bottom.

• A. Anecdotal Record
• B. Accountability
• C. Concepts About Print
• D. Curriculum-Based Assessment

Answer: (C)

Understanding how books are organized and how to handle print is a key area called Concepts About Print. Marie Clay’s indicator tests include items that check whether a child can identify features like the front and back of a book and the top and bottom, showing they know how a book is meant to be used. This awareness helps a child know where to start reading and how to turn pages in the correct direction, which are foundational skills for early reading. The other terms describe types or purposes of assessment rather than knowledge about book structure and print conventions.
