Beginning Friday, October 10th, some of our SK – Grade 2 students began their Early Reading Screeners, which will be completed by their classroom teachers during the next couple of weeks. Early Reading Screenings are quick checks of your child’s reading skills. They help us to see how your child is developing and identify any areas where they might need extra help. The screenings will be done one-on-one with your child and will include simple activities like identifying letters and sounds or sounding out words. No special preparation is needed. Our screening will use the Ministry-approved Acadience tool to look at skills like:
- Recognizing letters and their sounds
- Blending sounds to make words
- Understanding basic words and sentences
A copy of the letter, which was sent out to our parent community in early September, has been added to the Week at a Glance below.
