Your students are so much more than a collection of data points. Even the most subtle classroom behaviors—a quiet student excitedly volunteering to read out loud, a kindergarten student effortlessly decoding a word—can reflect meaningful literacy development that numbers alone can’t capture.
Our new infographic helps you connect assessment data and common classroom observations to get the full picture of students’ literacy growth. With it, you’ll learn:
-
The literacy skills that standardized assessments measure, including phonemic awareness, the alphabetic principle, and syntactical awareness.
-
Classroom observations that indicate literacy growth has occurred, including students decoding accurately, recognizing that words rhyme, and using new vocabulary words correctly.
These insights can help you stay aware of your students’ growth day in and day out. Be sure to share it with your colleagues, too!
