Hi Carissa,
I use the assessment, like I would use the DIBELS, I benchmark the students in the Fall, Winter, and Spring. It helps me to monitor their progress with the program and the skills. I have the students read the words from the list (aka - student copy). On the teacher copy, I check the words they read correctly and the ones they didn't. It also helps me to group students and ensure that they are working on new skills. I looked at other assessments I had seen on this website and tried to price it accordingly. I hope this information helps and if you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
Thank you for the interest!
