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
Registration is open for the 2021-22 school year!
