CAPS TITLE

Newton Public Schools is requesting parent feedback on the EarlyBird literacy screener. This tool is currently used in NPS Kindergartens to identify reading levels for all students. It also assesses a range of skills that are important for identifying or predicting issues with reading (e.g., naming speed, sound/symbol correspondence, phonemic and phonological awareness, oral language comprehension, phonics, word reading).

Please review the sample report (link below) and email comments, questions, or concerns to newtonliteracy@gmail.com. Let's let NPS know how understandable and useful this tool is from the parent perspective!


The Newton Literacy Collaborative meets regularly with Newton Public Schools central office leadership to discuss literacy in our schools.

Read notes from November 22, 2022.
