The Connect to Comprehension program uses three assessments that identify skill weaknesses in decoding, measure oral reading fluency, and identify strengths and weaknesses in comprehension skills. Each set includes a pretest, posttest, tests for ongoing progress monitoring, and scoring sheets for each assessment. An additional assessment is provided for Kindergarten/Non-readers with letter naming, letter sounds, word blending, word building, and listening comprehension.
