To align with our commitment to literacy success, we are pleased to share our schools will soon be introducing Universal Screening in Reading for Grade 1 and 2 students.
What is Universal Screening in Reading?
It’s a short (1–5 minute) activity that helps us see how your child is developing key reading skills. Think of it as a quick check-in on their reading journey, like looking at a map to see where they are and what might help them move forward.
Why do we do it?
The screening helps teachers understand children’s strengths and where they may need extra support. This allows us to plan instruction so students get what they need to succeed in reading.
Important to know:
This is not a test. There’s no “pass” or “fail.” It’s a way for teachers to ensure students are supported in their learning.
