Assessments for Students Experiencing Difficulty Stage 1 Targets 1, 2 & 3

Assessments for Students Experiencing Difficulty Within Stage 1 Targets 1, 2 & 3

Year Level: Year 1 & 2, Years 3 to 6

PLD recommends the presentation of these short assessments to determine why students may not be progressing through Stage 1 at a pleasing rate. 

These screens have been designed to identify why students are not progressing, or why they are experiencing difficulties acquiring skills within Stage 1. The screens highlight what additional skills require targeting. The results should direct the efforts of Education Assistants and parents, and direct teachers in making modifications to targeted small group or individual teaching programs.
