4. Introduction to the SAT
The Stanford Achievement Test Series, with a rich history dating from the twentieth century, measures students’ school achievement in Reading, Language Arts and Mathematics. This Tenth Edition of the Stanford battery (Stanford 10) provides updated content that reflects the national curriculum and educational trends of the end of the twentieth century.

5. What is the SAT-10?
The SAT-10 (Stanford Achievement Test) consists of two levels that measure the achievement of children in kindergarten and the first half of first grade.
The SAT will measure children’s skills in the domains of reading and mathematics.
It’s purpose is to assess the cognitive development of children in order to establish a baseline where instructional experience may best begin.

6. The Big Six Phonemic Awareness Phonics Fluency Comprehension
Vocabulary
Oral Language

7. Phonemic Awareness The knowledge that all letters stand for a sound
When sounds are put together, words are formed
Students must know all letters and their sounds
“A” makes the “a” sound as in apple.

9. Fluency
Fluency is how fast or slow a child can read at their independent reading level.
Fluency can be practiced through choral reading; reading together with your child.
Modeling good reading is also beneficial for children to understand what good reading should sound like.

10. Comprehension
Comprehension is understanding what is read or what a student reads.
Oral comprehension is always higher than independent reading comprehension.
In order to help your child with reading comprehension, it is important to ask questions while reading. For example: Who are the characters? Where did the story take place? What is the problem? What is the conflict? Ask your child: What happened in the beginning of the story? What happened at the end of the story? These are just some examples.
