Second Grade Reading Fluency and Accuracy Assessment

All second-graders in Washington are required to have their oral reading skills tested within the first six weeks of the school year. Assessing reading comprehension is optional, but strongly recommended.

Scores are not reported to the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI), but should be used by the teacher, school, and district to provide support for students who need help. Results must be available by fall parent-teacher conferences. For students whose skills are “substantially below grade level,” a plan must be created that involves the student, parents and school. Those students also must be tested one more time before the end of second grade.
