There are three testing sessions in Literacy. These are in addition to our normal classroom tests.
- Students are tested individually by the classroom teacher.
- It takes about three weeks of instructional time per testing session to administer these tests.
- Parents receive a printout of their student's results. Tests cannot be copied and sent home; however, parents are welcome to set up a conference time to review their student's progress.
