PALS: Understanding the Phonological Awareness Literacy Screening
The PALS is an assessment system developed by the University of Virginia to measure early reading development. Is is phased out by 3rd grade as students become more proficient readers. The report card will state whether a student did or did not meet the PALS benchmark. If your child does not meet the benchmark, then the state provides funding to Roanoke County to help us give extra assistance to your child to help catch him/her up.
