WIDA Screener is an English language proficiency assessment used to identify students in Kindergarten - 12th grade who may need English language development services. It measures students’ skills in four areas: listening, speaking, reading, and writing.

Schools use WIDA Screener results, along with other student information, to determine appropriate language support and instructional needs. Different versions are available for Kindergarten, grades 1–12, and students with significant cognitive disabilities.

The assessment helps teachers understand students’ current English abilities and provide the support they need to succeed academically.
