MN READ Act & Upcoming Reading Assessment

As part of the Minnesota READ Act, students will be participating in upcoming reading assessments designed to support strong early literacy skills. Our school uses CAPTI Read Basix, a brief, computer-based reading assessment that helps teachers understand each student’s reading strengths and areas for growth. CAPTI measures skills such as phonics, word recognition, and reading comprehension. Results are used to guide classroom instruction and ensure students receive the support they need to continue growing as confident readers. Families of students assessed will be notified when testing begins, and results will be shared once available.
