In our ongoing efforts to improve our school wide literacy, our Wolfpack and teachers engaged in their fall reading and writing assessments this season. Once the data has been shared and compiled, we will update this post with our current assessment scores.

Reading and Writing assessments:

• Identify the strengths and areas of growth for our students. Last year, our assessments showed that our school-wide decoding skills were proficient, but we need to shift the focus of our learning and teaching towards explicit instruction in reading comprehension strategies.
• Track progress over time so we can see if our focus and teaching is providing positive results.
• Inform instruction for teachers to adjust their teaching strategies and differentiate instruction effectively.
• Target interventions by identifying students who require early intervention or specialized support to address specific reading and writing challenges.
• Ensure accountability by tracking achievement and identifying areas where school-wide improvement efforts and resources are necessary.

Overall, school-wide reading and writing assessments are essential tools for promoting literacy development, improving student learning outcomes, and ensuring that all students can succeed.
