We believe that every child deserves to learn to read, while also developing the love for reading. It is for this reason that we continue to take the education of each child seriously, especially with developing their literacy skills. It is the goal of Piqua City Schools that every child becomes a proficient reader. We will measure this using our Success Bound Criteria and other district and state meaures.

Reading Universal Screening & Diagnostics
Reading Universal Screening & Diagnostics
According to the State of Ohio, a reading assessment known as a universal screener must be given to all students in grades K-3 each year. The screener gives teachers an initial indicator that students have reading deficiencies. We use additional assessments as needed, called diagnostics, to better understand exactly where to start instruction. Some of the assessments lited below are for all students, and some are for specific students to gain more information about their needs.

Contact your child's teacher if you have questions or concerns about their reading abilities.
