Literacy

Northview Elementary utilizes iReady as the reading diagnostic.  Students complete the diagnostic three times a year.  Following the diagnostic, parents and caregivers are sent reports of their student(s) scores.  Assessment results are analyzed and students are identified to receive reading intervention in WIN (What I Need) groups or Title 1.  Reading interventions focus on phonological/phonemic awareness, systematic and explicit phonics instruction, reading comprehension instruction, and reading fluency instruction.  Programs such as UFLI Foundations, Flyleaf Reading Series, Sound Partners, Heggerty, Phonics for Reading, or decodable books are used for intervention.  Students in intervention groups are progress monitored weekly using the iReady Oral Reading Fluency (ORF) assessment.
