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.

Heggerty Assessments

We develop intervention plans for students below grade level. Our intervention plans are designed to start remediation and intervetion right where students need it using evidence based resources and instruction, and we monitor their growth throughout the year.
Be sure to stay in contact with your child's teacher about their needs and their progress.
Contact your child's teacher if you have questions or concerns about their reading abilities.
