Screening Assessment

I obtained verbal consent from CC’s parents before conducting this screening on the child.
I performed the Acadience Reading Pre-K: PELI (The Preschool Early Literacy
Indicators) on CC to measure her pre-literacy and oral language skills. The PELI has two ways of
being scored and that is using benchmark goals and composite scores. There are benchmark
goals and cut points for risk that are represented through the benchmarks the children’s
assessment scores meet, and they adjust accordingly for the three different times a year this
assessment occurs. CC meets or exceeds all benchmark goals for all categories assessed:
alphabet knowledge, phonemic awareness, comprehension, and vocabulary-oral language. She
also greatly surpasses the PELI composite score benchmark goal for the beginning of the year,
which is 159. CC’s composite score for the Acadience PELI was 187. This puts her score in the
89
th
percentile range. From the assessment data, I do not believe Charlie has any type of delay or
needs any kind of further support with her early literacy. If anything, it is quite the opposite. She
is exceeding expectations, and meeting benchmarks. Her scores are above average for typical
scoring peers of her age.
I do agree with the reflection of CC’s abilities that this assessment portrayed and reflected
as far as her literacy skills. She is very strong and fluent with her alphabet knowledge and
phonological awareness, and always shines as a participant in our phonics word fun activities!
The screening showing that she exceeds those benchmark goals in those categories reflects what
I would have hypothesized. I also can see how she is right at benchmark for her comprehension
and vocabulary knowledge, but not exceeding. While she is meeting benchmark, and even just
above, the concept is there in her brain, and she is still working on fully developing the skill,

which is perfectly alright! This assessment gives me no concerns with CC, and if anything gives
me pride in just how well she is doing with her literacy development. While the assessment was
conventional, since CC was use to me as her teacher doing assessments and playing games and
making activities silly and fun, I do believe that the information I obtained for this assessment
was authentic and valid for the purpose of this assessment from CC. The assessment was also
ve4ry similar activity and question wise to our Heggerty Word Fun Phonics we do as a whole
group class, so I believe this gave more comfort and routine to CC, as well as confidence, and
allowed me to obtain even more of an authentic data for the assessment.
