FastBridge is the "universal benchmarking" system used to attain benchmark data in the fall, winter and spring. "EarlyReading" is used to universally screen all students up to five times per year, with additional assessments available for progress monitoring. Benchmark standards (i.e., “cut scores” or “targets”) are built into the system to assist in determining which students are at risk for academic failure, on target for success, or may need enrichment instruction. Reports provide profiles of students’ strengths and areas of difficulty relating to literacy and can provide useful information to plan instruction. Each individual and group report within FAST is available instantly, expediting the process for teachers. Reports are available to evaluate student performance against local norms, national aggregate norms, mastery criterion, and predictions of risk to meet proficiency standards on state tests. Reports also inform instruction by providing the accuracy rate, completion time, information about errors, and other essential data pertaining to the student’s performance for both screening and progress monitoring.

Reports are available for early reading skills. Please ask your child's teacher for these reports. Subtests for each benchmark period include the following:

G1| Fall - Word Segmenting, Decodable Words, Sight Words -150, Sentence Reading

G1 | Winter - Word Segmenting, Decodable Words, 150 Sight Words, CBM Reading

G1 | Spring - Word Segmenting, Decodable Words, 150 Sight Words , CBM Reading

Just like reading, math is also tested three times a year to determine baseline data in the fall and then document growth throughout the school year.
