VALLSS reports will be shared with parents through Parent Square on 10/25/24. Parents will receive an introductory message, and then the reports will be sent. The brochure I've linked offers additional information that will be shared with parents in the introductory post.
What is done with the data collected from the VALLSS Fall assessment?
-Teachers use this information to plan instruction and intervention, to ensure students get the support they need to catch up.
Who is able to review my child's report with me if I have questions?
-Teacher can address your questions about the Fall VALLSS report during Fall Parent-Teacher Conferences. You can also reach out to Stephanie Cross or Jenny Harkema on Parent Square to ask questions.
What does it mean if my child is identified in the High Risk band?
-If your child is in the high-risk band, they are significantly behind in basic literacy development and need targeted, explicit instruction. Your child is eligible for an additional 2.5 hours of literacy instruction per week through the Early Intervention Reading Initiative (EIRI). Ask your child's teacher about your child's intervention services.
What does it mean if my child is identified in the Moderate Risk band?
-If your child is in the moderate-risk band, your child is at moderate risk for developing a reading difficulty. Your child needs to receive targeted, explicit instruction in areas of need based on the VALLSS instructional indicators. This instruction will be delivered during small group instruction with your child's teacher.
How can I support my child at home?
