Instructions:
For prekindergarten level readers:
- Answer the first three parent questions.
For kindergarten through sixth grade level readers:
- Answer the first three parent questions.
- If possible, open the .pdf file titled 'Reading Placement Assessment' on a separate device for your child to use so they are not distracted by the results being entered. Alternately, you can both read from this screen as you enter scores.
- Find a quiet place to sit with your child to answer the assessment questions.
- It may take between 5-15 minutes depending on your starting point and your child’s reading level.
- We recommend that you do not use this as a teaching time, and respond “okay” to both correct and incorrect responses in order to minimize the time your child needs to complete the assessment.
- Do not help or coach your child with difficult questions as this may lead to an incorrect placement. Generally you should expect your child to answer a question in about 3 seconds in order to select the response as correct. This shows your child has mastered this skill independently.
