Structured Literacy Assessment Resources
Assessments have multiple purposes. Universal screening is conducted to determine a student’s risk for reading difficulty and the need for possible instructional intervention. Once the universal screening is complete, the data is analyzed. If areas of weakness are identified, then an informal diagnostic may be administered so that a data-based intervention plan can be created to address the identified weakness(es) in reading. If a student has an intervention plan, then ongoing progress monitoring assessments (i.e., intervention assessments) should be conducted to evaluate the impact of the instruction and the student’s achievement towards reading goals. Additional information can be found in the Kansas Dyslexia Handbook and the KSDE Screening Protocol.
