This February, Yspaniola staff administered Reading A-Z evaluations for all students in the Learning Center. Reading A-Z assessments are an internationally-recognized, research-based system that provides our students and families with measurable results of the Center’s impact in literacy skills. These assessments measure the students' ability to interpret a text, critically analyze, and make inferences, while also measuring their vocabulary skills. Of a total of 47 students whom were tested in June 2014 and then again in February 2015, 72% showed improvement. Of those students, 41% progressed 2 or more reading levels with 24% progressing 3 or more levels. These assessments help Yspaniola educators develop curricula and programming informed by students' weaknesses and strengths.
