Early Literacy Program
Livingston Public School’s Early Rangers Assessment Pathway Goal of the Early Literacy Assessment Pathway:
To determine which students qualify for our District’s early literacy targeted intervention classroom-based program.
How students qualify for the Early Literacy Program:
Students must flag on one Oral Language, Phonological Awareness, and/or Alphabet Knowledge measure to qualify for the program.
Assessment Protocol & Flowchart:
The testing team will administer several assessments to determine whether or not a child qualifies for the Early Literacy Program. Our school’s literacy leadership team chose the protocol after consulting with our literacy consultant, Dr. Nell Thompson. Assessments will be administered in a particular order based on expert recommendations. Assessments were vetted and the chosen assessments were both based in the science of reading and research-based. Assessments will help staff identify those students who would benefit from interventions and support in the area of early literacy.
