Assessment: Assessments in Building Language for Literacy are based on the program's four foundational goals: Oral Language, Phonological Awareness, Letter Knowledge, and Print Knowledge.

The Assessment Handbooks (Phase 1 and Phase 2) provide formal assessment activities and information designed to meet three important purposes of assessment, to:
• monitor children's progress.
• plan and adapt instruction.
• communicate with parents and others.

To help you meet these purposes, these handbooks provide:
• information to help you decide what to assess, when to assess, and how to assess.
• a set of 11 activities covering all objectives in Phase 1 and a set of 15 activities covering all objectives in Phase 2.
• a Progress Report in each for documenting the results of the assessments.
