PALS Kindergarten Testing

I wanted to let you know that during the next few weeks, the kindergarten students will be given several short reading assessments as part of the state mandated PALS test.  This will be administered by the classroom teachers along with some help from Mrs. Stoehr, our retired Title One Reading teacher.

Many of the assessments are very similar to the type of checks and activities we already do with our students.  We will be assessing knowledge of letter names, letter sounds, rhyming, beginning sounds, simple spelling and concepts of print.
There is no extra work or preparation I need from families, just send them rested and ready for school as usual!  If you have any questions, give me a call or send me an e-mail!
