Assessments
Scarborough’s Reading Rope guides teachers towards the skills that are needed to teach their students how to read. We need to have assessments that will help inform us as to what our students need and what we need to proceed with instruction.
Example Assessments
These assessments can be used to measure how well students are doing with the foundational skills in reading and writing.
