Stink Bug book

Progress Monitoring of Foundational Skills Development

Systematic assessment of foundational literacy knowledge and skills is delivered at the end of each book’s foundational skills instruction, allowing for the continuous monitoring of word-reading development as necessary. This practice equips teachers with the data they need to make informed instructional decisions.

Progress Monitoring of Comprehension Development

Text-dependent questions are integrated into each book’s close reading instruction, providing informal opportunities for oral assessment of students’ developing comprehension skills and strategies, vocabulary, and reading-specific background knowledge. Monitoring the progress of students’ developing comprehension skills provides insights that will inform decisions around instructional differentiation as necessary.

Formative Assessment of Foundational Skills and Comprehension Development

Located in the Foundational Skills Guide binders, formative assessments are designed to be delivered at each developmental milestone in Flyleaf’s Scope & Sequences. Each formative assessment is made up of sub-tests that include assessments for nonsense word reading, real word reading, high-frequency word reading, passage reading, and comprehension. There are two formative assessments (A and B) at each milestone, allowing teachers to reassess students as necessary.

Analysis and Instructional Planning

Student Response Records, Error Analysis Sheets, and instructional planning guidance documents are offered to support teachers in analyzing data and making instructional decisions based on student development.
