disagree  Denise Nahigian: I can't imagine "laterality" appearing on a report card; all we're trying to say is that the child is beginning to understand the difference between left and right.
14 hrs
  -> ...which is exactly what "laterality" is, apart from the fact that the word shows the same level of complexity as the source word. Don't get me wrong; I respect and welcome your feedback; I just don't think it's enough for a "disagree". Saludos/Regards!

emerging understanding of left and right


Explanation:
Since this is a mainstream grade report, brain injury and dyslexic terminology would not appear. Neither "handedness" nor "laterality" would be readily understood by the general public. The concept of left and right is part of the math curriculum in primary grades, and I believe that's what we're talking about here.
