Use your EYE reports to determine the type of support each child needs

We are about mid-way through the school year and there is still time to review your EYE reports and make use of the data! If you need assistance interpreting your EYE-TA results, check out our pre-recorded webinar. Use your results to guide instruction, engage families and personalize each child’s learning experience.

Exciting news!

You now have the option to enter EYE-TA scores on a per-child basis! If you have a child join your class late or if you only have a few children to assess, you can now select a specific child and enter all of their EYE-TA item scores on a single page. You’ll see this new option for “Enter per Child” on the Progress Overview page.

"I've identified areas of vulnerabilities for my children. What now?"

Got your results? Wondering what to do to strengthen areas of vulnerability? Check out our exciting EYE-100 activities. The activities link the assessment results to targeted interventions. Set 15 (Community) and Set 16 (School) are now available in the 'Resources & Help' section of our website!

Providing free resources for learning at home

In spring, we published some of our most popular educational resources for children up to grade 4. This provided material to families and educators as they worked together and helped to strengthen home and school collaboration. Over the summer we expanded on this to create an ‘At-Home Learning Resource Portal’ which includes fun and easy activities to support learning at home. We encourage you to share with your families and hope this will help during this time.

Access the free resources

Join us as we address common instructional questions related to teaching reading and strategies to support students at different stages of reading development.

Common questions to be discussed include:

What are the differences between phonological awareness, phonemic awareness, and phonics and why are they important?
How do children learn to automatically recognize words and read fluently?
How do we teach children to comprehend texts they read?

Find out the answers to these questions and more. If you are a literacy lead or an educator responsible for teaching reading, this will be a great opportunity to engage directly with one of our experts.

Have a question of your own? Let us know and we will attempt to address it in this or future webinars.

"This piece (Child Report) has been instrumental when collaborating with our school's learning team and our early learning multidisciplinary team. It has allowed us to provide the necesssary supports in the classroom." - Teacher, Edmonton Catholic School Division, Alberta, Canada
