2021-2022 Early Literacy Report
Utah State Board of Education
The Early Literacy Program focuses on the development of early literacy skills in all students, with additional emphasis placed on intervention for "at-risk" students. Resources available to aid these students include interventions and supports for students in grades kindergarten through third grade, standards and assessments for testing and monitoring reading benchmark status three times per year in grades 1-3, ongoing professional learning, and the use of data to inform instruction. Beginning in SY 2013, LEAs were required to assess, and report to the state, students' reading competency three (3) times a year (beginning, middle, and end of the school year) using the Acadience Reading assessment. Acadience Reading data includes several measures that can be used together to evaluate whether students' reading abilities meet grade level reading standards (Lexiles), whether a student is likely to need support to achieve future reading goals (Acadience Reading Benchmarks), and meet adequate growth thresholds as compared with similarly performing students (Acadience Reading Pathways of Progress). LEAs must also report to the state on whether the student received reading interventions at any time during the school year. Following the background and findings to the 2021-2022 Early Literacy Report, this report presents: (1) Early Literacy Program; (2) Reading Benchmarks by Grade Level; (3) Reading Benchmarks over Time; (4) Pathways of Progress; and (5) Reading Benchmark by LEA. A section with students included in the data set is appended. [For the "2021-22 Early Literacy Report," see ED616395.]
