Acadience
Acadience is a reading assessment that all students take three times a year. Acadience provides a number of measures which can be administered quickly to individual students to assess their Reading abilities as appropriate for their grade level. Tigard-Tualatin uses Acadience to measure students' skills which range from the awareness of letter sounds (Phonemic Awareness) and the ability to blend them (Nonsense Word Fluency) to speed and accuracy when reading aloud (Oral Reading Fluency). All students in our district take the Acadience assessment, though at each grade level the assessment has a different set of components. To learn more about Acadience follow this link.
