We understand the importance of progress monitoring and data collection to optimize the RTI experience; therefore, we are including an informal assessment of encoding/decoding skills with this package. Throughout the RTI process, we need to use testing protocol that targets the skills we are teaching. This assessment targets the skills taught when using the Orton Gillingham Approach with your students. It is designed to collect 3 benchmark data points & certainly can be modified to use as a progress monitoring tool by simply using the portion of the assessment you are targeting the most with your student during intervention time (reading, spelling or letter sounds).
It was difficult to put a price tag on the wealth of information found in this package. We are confident that you will find it very useful as you teach your students the English language.
