K-3 Literacy Assessments

The North Carolina Read to Achieve (RtA) comprehensive plan for reading achievement states that all:

• students entering kindergarten are required to receive a developmental screening in early language, literacy, and math skills (Early Learning Inventory - ELI),

• and students in grades K-3 must be assessed with valid, reliable, formative and diagnostic reading assessments (DIBELS).

These assessments are to be used to identify and assist students demonstrating difficulty with reading development, including offering reading camps as an option to students in grades first through third.
