Check in at the end of the week if necessary. After Week 3 Complete and score rest of class and meet to enter data at early release day.

Benchmark Assessments General Outcome Measures � “Predictors” “Indicators”of reading achievement � Big 5 Areas – LNF assesses Phonics � Standardized � Research based � Time Sensitive � Short for “do-ability” CBM – Curriculum Based Measurement

Early Literacy – Letter Naming Fluency Things You Need Before Testing � Student Copy of Letter Naming Fluency (not numbered) � Examiner Copy of LNF (scoring booklet) � Clipboard � Stopwatch – 1 minute assessment � Classlist � Pencil K- F W S 1 - F
