Moving From Screening Data to Diagnostic Assessment for Middle Grades

Universal screening data helps you identify students who are having reading difficulties and allows you to intervene early.
This data will likely reveal that there are students struggling with reading comprehension. But what does that mean for how you tailor your instruction to work with them?
💡 This is where diagnostic assessment comes in.
Using the right diagnostic assessment is key to improving future reading outcomes.
While universal screening data will alert you to the reading comprehension problem, it’s the follow-up diagnostic assessments that help pinpoint what part of reading comprehension is difficult for a particular student.
Using both tools will help you to be more targeted and effective with your instruction.
