assessment is comprised of Lesson Assessment and Benchmark Assessment. Lesson Assessment tests students on material covered in the
program weekly. A score of 80% or higher indicates student mastery. These assessments offer the opportunity for summative assessment as students are
graded on their knowledge of previously-taught skills and concepts. Benchmark Assessment features tests of equivalent difficulty that sample the yearlong
curriculum to gauge student growth. Improving scores on these assessments indicate students’ increasing mastery of the content. This assessment acts as a
universal screener of student growth. Progress is measured against benchmark cutoff scores. Cutoff scores rise as student knowledge grows and help to
point out gaps between student achievement and the curriculum-based goals. These two assessments offer valuable formative data as the frequency of the
assessments allows for reliable progress monitoring data that can be used to ensure that all students progress.

Contains planning, differentiation, and assessment tips that enhance instruction in print and book awareness, letter recognition, phonological and phonemic awareness, and more.
