Today (Friday) I individually assessed the students using the PALS screening tool. PALS stands for Phonological Awareness Literacy Screening. This is done in grades 4K-2nd. Wisconsin teachers use PALS to identify students at risk of developing reading difficulties. diagnose students knowledge of literacy fundamentals, monitor literacy growth in the classroom, and plan instruction based on what individual students already know. This is done in the Fall, Winter, and Spring.
Star Testing in Reading/Math, Guided Reading assessments, & Aimsweb Testing were also completed over the past week. We use these assessments, again, to monitor student growth over the year and plan instruction based on what students already know/need to know.
All of these assessment TOGETHER give us a good snapshot of your child's academic progress. We will share this with you in the upcoming days!
