Multiple assessment opportunities are offered in Reading Triumphs to monitor students’ progress.
Daily informal Quick Checks allow teachers to immediately identify specific skills that students understand and skills for which students need continued instruction and practice.
Weekly Assessment (Grades 1–6) helps identify specific skills students continue to struggle with after a week’s worth of instruction, practice, and review.
Mid-Unit Assessment (Grades 1–6) monitors students’mastery of skills taught over a 2-week period of time.This is a cumulative assessment of skills.
End-of Unit Assessment (Grades K–6) monitors progress over a 5-week period of time, or a 3-week period for Kindergarten. This is also a cumulative assessment of skills.
Exit Assessment is a series of assessments that can be offered every 6–9 weeks to help teachers determine students who have done well on the weekly and unit tests and may no longer need intensive intervention.
