EARLY LEARNING QUICK ASSESSMENTS

IMPROVE STUDENT OUTCOMES. ENHANCE TEACHER EFFECTIVENESS. CLOSE ACHIEVEMENT GAPS.

WHAT IS ELQA?

Early Learning Quick Assessments (ELQA) are a series of quick assessments that monitor progress in early literacy and numeracy skills during pre-kindergarten and kindergarten. Students’ skills are assessed at intervals throughout the school year so teachers are able to:

  • Identify students at risk for not meeting early targets
  • Differentiate instruction to prepare children for kindergarten and beyond
