We give the phonological awareness literacy screening in K-3 grades.
PALS is the state-provided screening tool for Virginia’s Early Intervention Reading Initiative (EIRI) in the state schools. Private schools must fund the cost of the program if they wish to use it. The purpose of the EIRI is to reduce the number of children with reading problems by detecting those problems early and providing research-based, small-group intervention. By screening K-3 students with PALS, participating schools identify struggling readers and can establish plans for early intervention. Students not meeting the Entry Level benchmark for their grade level can receive intervention services in addition to their regular classroom instruction. Mrs. Tarabek assists the teachers in forming the best plans on how to address each individual child in need.
