Understanding Literacy and Numeracy Screeners
Strong reading and math skills start early. In Alberta, Kindergarten to Grade 5 students complete brief literacy and numeracy assessments (called screeners) to help teachers identify who might need additional support during these critical early years of learning.
What parents need to know:
- They monitor progress: Screeners are quick check-ins that help teachers track your child’s growth over time.
- They use trusted tools: Our schools use government-provided tools to complete the screenings.
- They are part of a bigger picture: A screener doesn't replace regular grading or daily classroom activities. It simply gives teachers one more helpful piece of information to combine with their own everyday observations.
- They guide our conversations: Your child's teacher is available to discuss the results of the screeners with you should you have questions or concerns.
Ultimately, these screening tools help guide teachers' instruction to support students' literacy and numeracy needs.
