K-2 Diagnostic Assessment Toolkit

Reading Rev & Georgia DOE K–2 Diagnostic Toolkit

The K–2 Diagnostic Toolkit is designed to support early identification and targeted instruction during the most critical years of reading development. Built on a research-aligned framework, this toolkit helps educators move from universal screening to precise diagnostic assessment, ensuring that foundational skill gaps are identified and addressed early.

This resource provides a clear, step-by-step process for assessing phonological awareness, phonics, early encoding, and emerging fluency skills. Educators are guided in selecting assessments, analyzing student data, and determining next instructional steps based on identified needs—not programs or levels.

What’s Included:

• A structured, step-by-step assessment-to-instruction process
• Curated diagnostic assessments for foundational reading skills
• Guidance on when and how to administer each assessment
• Direct links to assessment materials and resources
• Video demonstrations of assessment administration
• Diagnostic Analysis Form to organize and interpret data
• Case studies modeling how to move from data to instruction
• Tools to identify root causes of reading difficulty
• Support for targeted small group and intervention planning

Aligned to Georgia’s Early Literacy and Dyslexia Act (HB 307), this toolkit supports a proactive, data-driven approach to early literacy instruction.
