Navigating Standardized Assessments with Practical Literacy Strategies

Understanding Standardized Assessments

We're kicking off our new video series on Cracking the Code of Benchmark Assessments by delving into the topic of standardized assessments, specifically focusing on DIBELS. Listen in as Julia and Jenny get into some of the key things you want to know about helping students succeed on these tests. This episode aims to empower all of us educators with a practical approach that helps us help our students succeed on benchmark assessments.

Navigating Benchmark Assessments with Confidence

If we want our students to show progress on benchmark assessments, we need to prepare them for what lies ahead. Specifically, they’ll need to be confident with letter identification, phoneme segmentation, and nonsense word fluency. You can use the movable alphabet and alphabet pouch to meet all of these objectives! Watch the video to see some specific tips and tricks that will help. 

Practical Tips and Insights

Our mission is to equip educators like you with actionable strategies that help you nurture your students' development. Jenny's approach is grounded in the science of reading research and is designed to support interventionists, classroom teachers, and Montessori educators. We hope you find it a helpful addition to your literacy toolkit.

Stay tuned for the launch of the video series tomorrow, July 16th. Join us on YouTube and LinkedIn to follow along!
