Fountas and Pinnell Assessments

Assessments

This past year as you may know, we implemented Fountas & Pinnell Benchmark Assessment to assess our readers.  Additionally, we assess using numerous different assessment tools are to gather information about your child’s progress such as anecdotal records, behavior inventories, work samples, and conferences to name a few.

The Fountas & Pinnell Benchmark Assessment is a valuable tool used to assess each child's  instructional and independent reading levels. This is tool is informative as it allows us to look at your child's comprehension, fluency, and reading rate.  Because students are assessed three times yearly, we are able to document student progress through one-on-one formative and summative assessments.

This week your child will have an opportunity to demonstrate his/her reading strengths. I will share the assessment information with you at conferences in March or would be happy to meet with you prior to scheduled conferences.  Please contact me at kvogel@nvps.net or 862-8073.

NOTE:  Your child will take the ACT Aspire English test on January 30.
