Classroom teachers have a professional responsibility to administer the first early reading screener between the start of the school year and mid-November to students in year two of Kindergarten and in grades 1 and 2.

Teacher professional judgement is essential to this process. To help you navigate the ongoing implementation of early reading screeners, ETFO developed the Pedagogy and Professional Judgement series of resources. This series includes guidance on administering the screeners with multilingual learners, students with special education needs, students in French immersion, as a Kindergarten team, and much more.
