PALS - Phonological Awareness Literacy Screening
can be found at http://pals.virginia.edu
It is designed for PreSchool through 3rd grade for teachers.
You can contact the PALS office to find out how to get it for your school. It is the best!!! It is not just a diagnostic tool. It helps teachers plan instruction
and provides excellent resources.

or  google  PALS
PALS was designed by Marcia Invernizzi and colleagues at the
University of Virginia.
Also, Beverly Tyner has a screening inventory in her book that you
can get through the
International Reading Association   www.ira.org
The book is Differentiated Instruction K-2

Subject: [MOSAIC] need evaluative tool for kindergartners and first
graders

Hello - I am a reading specialist who needs to assess students
entering our
kindergarten and first grade. I have used Clay's Observation Survey.
Any
other suggestions out there? Opinions on DIBELS? Can you use it for
entering
kindergartners?

How expensive is DIBELS?  Thanks - Amy
