Kindergarten Reading Readiness Assessment

A few parents have already asked me about my personal opinion regarding the new reading readiness assessment enacted in Wisconsin. While I find it a bit inappropriate to discuss my views on our Library blog, I do find it comforting that the Department of Public Instruction has e-mailed youth Librarians the following links.

I hope these resources will come in handy to inquiring parents and guardians. If you have further questions or would like more resources, I will do my best to assist you in your venture.
