Reading Assessments

We are off to a great start!  Now that your child has had time to get settled in his or her new classroom, we will be starting our beginning of the year reading assessments.  I want you to know that our reading specialists, Kristin Newman and Jacqueline Purdy-Davis, will be helping us to complete the assessments in a timely manner.  Some of these assessments are done in a whole class setting and some are done one-on-one.  These assessments are done at the beginning of every year so that we can identify your child’s reading strengths and to guide classroom instruction.  Please let me know if you have any questions.  Assessment results will be shared with you during parent-teacher conferences in October.
