Indiana Kindergarten Reading Diagnostic Assessment

The Indiana Kindergarten Reading Diagnostic Assessment is a series of informal classroom assessments designed to provide Kindergarten teachers with information about the developing skills of their students. Provided at no cost to Indiana schools by the Indiana Department of Education, the Kindergarten Assessment features:

• Assessment items aligned with Indiana’s English/Language Arts standards for Kindergarten
• Diagnostic assessment to help teachers plan instruction that may be tailored to meet individual student needs
• Developmentally appropriate items that become progressively more difficult with each administration
• Three flexible assessment administrations:

• Administration 1 is a screening tool administered individually to assess students reading knowledge at the beginning of the school year
• Administration 2 and Administration 3 are primarily given to small groups of students to monitor student progress throughout the year

• Individual student booklets and related materials shipped directly to schools
• Teacher-scored assessments that provide immediate results on student reading development
• Opportunity for students to learn test-taking skills for ISTEP+ preparation
• Additional resource and intervention materials, including classroom activities, reproducible assessments, and fluency measures
