How we measure literacy improvement

A) Learning Outcomes by Domain

• Phonemic Awareness: The ability to hear and identify individual sounds (phonemes) in spoken words.
• Grapheme-Phoneme Correspondence: Matching sounds to their written letters (e.g., knowing "b" makes the /b/ sound).
• Blending & Decoding: Joining sounds together to read a word (e.g., /c/-/a/-/t/ = "cat").
• Word Recognition & Fluency: Transitioning from sounding out to recognizing words instantly. This includes sight words that do not follow standard rules.
• Sentence & Paragraph Construction: Understanding how words work together in phrases and sentences, including basic punctuation.
• Comprehension: The ultimate goal—reading a story and demonstrating an understanding of the plot, characters, or facts.
