Phonological Awareness Literacy Screening (PALS)
In April 2012,
Wisconsin Act 166 was signed into law. The legislation requires the
administration of an early literacy screener to all 5K students enrolled
in Wisconsin district or charter schools. The Department
of Public Instruction was given the task to identify a screener that: is
valid and reliable; assesses phonemic awareness; and will begin with
the 2012-2013 school year. PALS-K was the screener selected. PALS meets
the legislative standards established by Act
166 and provides educators with helpful information to guide
instruction.
