Using the Assessment Forms
If you don’t have an UPDATED Adobe Reader,
you can get it here.
Choose a struggling reader. If you did not choose a struggling reader, the assessment does not meet the requirements and cannot be accepted.
Choose the Assessment Forms for the grade level of your student. If you are assessing the student for the first time at the end of the school year, choose the assessment that matches the grade level of the student in the Fall. Use Mid-K-Beginning Grade 1 the first three weeks of Grade 1. Use the Grade 1 form if you are assessing later.
These forms are interactive, fillable forms. Type the information into the form. These forms will automatically calculate scores and transfer data from one part of the form to another.
