Launch of the New PM Benchmark Literacy Assessment


What?
 I went together with Lisa, another LC from my school to the Launch of the New PM Benchmark Literacy Assessment. 

So what?
This new resource includes a Pre-Level 1 assessment and 6 post level 30 assessments. Carmel Small from Australia went over the New PM Benchmark Literacy Assessment resource. In the practical 90-minute workshop she unpacked the New PM Benchmark Literacy Assessment resource.

By joining the Product Launch I found out how to:
• embed the PM Benchmark Literacy Assessment in my classroom 
• conduct a Pre-Level 1 assessment targeting core literacy competencies of oral literacy, phonological awareness, phonics and concepts about print
• conduct a Post-Level 30 assessment across a range of text types
• walk through a complete Reading Record.

Now what?
This New PM Benchmark Literacy Assessment has helped me to learn how to conduct the most robust and insightful literacy assessment.
