The Science of Measuring Reading
Measuring a student's reading is a necessity to ensure the student is reading the appropriate level books, and whether emphasis should be placed on phonics, fluency, or comprehension. FLC uses multiple tools to assess students' reading development, including oral reading, reading modeling, and online tools. To help you, as the parent, to understand your child's development at FLC versus what your child's school has report as their level of development, we use the same assessment models and software that is used in Gwinnett County schools. Therefore, when comparing FLC reading levels and your child's reading level assigned by their school, you are comparing apples to apples.
