Effectively Place and Monitor Your Students
As children enter school with their own unique literacy histories and abilities, it is crucial to take great care in placing each child in an instructional group that allows success. During the first week of school, each child is assessed for placement in a small group using the Read Well Placement Inventory. Keep in mind that these groups are flexible. Students will move in and out of groups based on their performance on assessments throughout the program. Click here to view an Assessment

End-of-Unit Assessments

Young children thrive when their lessons are supportive and successful. As each child has a unique background knowledge, response to instruction, and predisposition to reading, it is critical to deliver lessons that are tailored to the needs of each child.

At the end of each unit, it is important to assess each child’s progress. Read Well assessments will help determine whether a child is ready to learn new skills or would benefit from:

additional lessons in a unit.
a quick review to firm up past learning.
a slower pace of instruction.
a faster pace of instruction.
instruction in a different group.

Being faithful in the administration of the assessments is vital to the long-term reading health of each child. The regular assessments provided in Read Well are critical components of the program.
