Making Sense of Screening Decision Tree
Last updated 2025/08/22
Description
It can be challenging to navigate the many subtests that can be used in universal screening! Skilled reading involves the integration of many subskills. This chart can be used to identify the most pressing need for instruction. For older students – start at the top and work your way down to find the lowest barrier skill. For younger students learning to read (Kindergarten and grade 1), start at the bottom and work your way up to find the next skill to teach.
Curriculum Connection
