It is very important for educators to know what scenario fits with certain students so time is not wasted on teaching skills and strategies students already know. Getting the right fit starts with assessing students in some or all of the components of reading to find out what instructional practices or interventions each student needs.

Dawn Reithaug, 2009

Four Types of Assessment Screening – all students – teacher

Diagnostic – specific students – R&M

Progress Monitoring – all students – teacher and/or R&M

Outcome – all students – teacher and/or R&M
