What educators are saying
Description
The purpose of the benchmark assessments is to give the teacher targeted information to identify students’ instructional needs. By using the letter identification, phonological awareness, spelling, decoding, and fluency assessments, teachers can first identify the current Phase of Reading and Spelling Development and Word Acquisition that a given student is in, and then use the Assessment Conversion chart to locate actual lessons and materials to use to address each student’s needs.
