Grades K-2 Screening Tasks
19
20
Screening Tasks• Screening tasks are administered 1-on-1 and fall into 3 types:
1. Student and Teacher Task: Both the assessor and student see the screen, but only the teacher uses the mouse (e.g. LS)
or2. Student Task: Both see the screen, but the student
uses the mouse (e.g. FD)
3. Teacher Task: Only the assessor sees the screen and uses the mouse (e.g. PA)
21
Screening Tasks
• All directions, practice items, and items delivered via audio• Each task computer-adaptive
– Reduces administration time and frustration by only administering items targeted to individual student’s ability level
– Total administration time for the screening will be approximately 30 minutes, depending on grade level
• Screening can be administered over several sessions if needed – If a task is started, ensure that task is completed before ending
the session
22
Screen Elements: Submit Button
1. For Letter Sounds and Word Reading, the teacher will mark correct/incorrect responses by clicking the arrow at bottom right-hand corner of the screen– To indicate a correct response, the teacher will click the top half of
the arrow– To indicate an incorrect response, the teacher will click the bottom
half of the arrow
2. Clicking a second time on the same part of the arrow will confirm/submit the response and advance to the next item– To change the response, click the opposite side of the area– Click again to confirm the response
23
Screen Elements: Submit Button
• For all tasks other than Letter Sounds and Word Reading, it does not matter where the arrow is clicked. Since the computer records the response, either based on the tester’s input (i.e. Phonological Awareness) or the student’s input (Following Directions, Vocabulary Pairs, Sentence Comprehension, etc.), the split arrow functionality is not activated. – The arrow looks the same, so that students are minimally aware of the tasks
when their performance is being scored in front of them by the teacher.
• Answers for these tasks are submitted after only one click.
• There is no back button. Ensure that the student’s final answer is chosen before clicking the arrow.
24
Screen Elements: Repeat Button
• To repeat, click on the replay button in the lower left hand corner
• Type the word code PLAY (or play) into the replay prompt box
• Audio for each item may only be repeated once.– If the student asks for the audio to be repeated again, ask them to try
and give their best answer and then move on.
25
Screen Elements: Reset Button
• For some tasks, students may want to change their answer before submitting (e.g. Following Directions or Vocabulary Pairs)
• To reset the page to the original screen, the students can click on the x button in the lower left hand corner and it will reset the screen elements

Print Awareness(Grade K)
• Five items that measure a student’s basic familiarity with the features of print
• This task maps onto the Reading Foundational Skills for Kindergarten
• Optional due to the subjectivity in scoring and lack of predictive power for reading outcomes in Kindergarten
71
Print Awareness(Grade K)
72
Letter Name and Sound Knowledge
Letter Name Knowledge (Grade K)• All 26 letters displayed (upper and lower case)• Incorrectly named letters included on score report
Letter Sound Knowledge (Grades K and 1)• 29 letter sounds (and three digraphs) administered• Incorrectly pronounced sounds included on score
report
73
Phonological Deletion
Word Parts/Initial Sound (Grade K)
• Examines the student’s ability to manipulate words and phonemes (prerequisite for the Word Building tasks)
• A recorded voice will say a word aloud and ask students to pronounce the word without a part of the word (e.g., backpack without saying back) or the initial sound of a word (e.g., cat without /k/)
74
Phonological Deletion
Phonological Deletion Initial (Grades 1 and 2)• Examines the student’s ability to manipulate word sounds
(prerequisite for the Word Building tasks)• A recorded voice will say a word aloud and ask students to
pronounce the word without the initial sound (e.g., cat without /k/)
Phonological Deletion Final (Grades 1 and 2)• Task is the same as Phoneme Deletion Initial except
students are asked to pronounce the word without the final sound (e.g., kneel without /l/)
75
Phonological Blending
(Grade 1)• Student listens to recorded segmented word
(e.g., cup-cake; /d/-og)• Student blends parts to form the word• Teacher clicks to indicate if student’s response
is correct/incorrect
76
Letter Sound Connection
Letter Sound Connection: Initial (Grade K)• Measures student’s ability to identify initial phonemes and
graphemes in words.• A recorded voice says a word. Student identifies the first
sound of the word, and then points to the correct letter.
Letter Sound Connection: Final (Grade K)• Measures student’s ability to identify final phonemes and
graphemes in words.• Task is the same as the Letter Sound Connection Initial task,
but targets the last sound of a word instead of the first sound.
77
Letter Sound Connections: (Grade K only)
Part one Audio (no picture): “What is the first sound in ‘pan?’”Part two Audio (this screen): “Point to the letter that makes the /p/ sound?”
78
Word Building
Word Building: Initial Consonants (Grade K)• The computer will display an array of letters across the top of the
screen and a word at the bottom of the screen (e.g., hop). The student will make a new word pronounced by the computer (e.g., top).
Word Building: Final Consonants (Grade K)• The student will manipulate the final sound in a word (e.g., top
changed to tot).
Word Building: Medial Vowels (Grade K)• The student will manipulate the medial/middle sound in a word (e.g.,
top changed to tap).
79
Word Building
Word Building: CVC/CVCe (Grades 1-2)• Assesses students’ understanding of long and short vowels• Student starts with a word with a short vowel (e.g., nap) and is
asked to make a word with a long vowel sound (e.g., nape)• Students may also be asked to transform a word with a long
vowel into a word with a short vowel (e.g., nape to nap)
Word Building: Blends (Grades 1-2)• Assesses students’ ability to manipulate letters and sounds in
words that are part of a consonant blend (e.g., make the word spit into split)
80
Word Building
Audio: “The word is ‘cat.’ Make the word ‘hat.’”
81
Multisyllabic Word Reading
(Grade 2)
• Evaluates the student’s ability to decode words with various combinations of the six syllable types
82
Grades K-2 Diagnostic Tasks Summary

Scoring and Reports
Important note:
Scores from FAIR-FS were designed to facilitate instructional decision making including problem-
solving and data-based decision making.
FAIR-FS scores are not intended to be the sole data point in determining
retention or special education determination
89
Score Reports
• Detailed reports for teachers and parents– Includes profile of student scores
• Graphs to show ability scores in relation to grade level performance
• Screening tasks:– Ability scores – Percentile ranks– Probability of Literacy Success (PLS)
• Diagnostic Tasks– Percentage of items correct– Mastery
90
91
Probability of Literacy Success (PLS)
• Score represents the likelihood that a student will receive a passing score on the end-of-year outcome measure (i.e., SAT-10, SESAT)
• PLS is based on an aggregate of Alphabetics and Oral Language scores
PLS of .50 predicts that student has 50/50 chance of achieving the passing score on the outcome
measure
92
Ability Scores
• Scores represent an estimate of ability in a specific skill and reflects true change over time as ability increases or decreases– Covers a range of ability from Kindergarten to grade 2– Scores range from 200 – 800
– Indicates degree of growth for each student
A student with an ability score of 500 demonstrates the level of
reading skill expected at the middle of first grade
93
Percentile Ranks
• Score is used to rank one student’s performance in relation to a particular group of other students– Ranges from 1 – 99 (25th through 75th percentile represents
the expected scoring range)– Based on a representative sample of Florida students
2nd grade student with a percentile rank of 55
performed better than 55% of other 2nd graders in
Florida
94
Score Types for Computer-Adaptive Tasks
Score type What it reflects What it does NOT reflect
Ability score Quantifies a student’s level of skill and reflects changes
Scale ranges from a minimal amount of skill to expert
• Performance compared to other students
• Grade-level performance
Percentile rank Student’s ability compared to other students in the same grade
• Percentage of correct responses
• Growth• Level of expected
performance
Probability of Literacy Success
Likelihood the student will score at the 40th percentile or above on the SAT-10
• Growth• Grade-level
performance
95
Examples
• Probability of Literacy Success: A PLS of .50 predicts that the student has a 50/50 chance of reaching grade level reading expectations
• Ability Score: If a student receives a score of 400 at AP1 and 520 at AP2, s/he demonstrated growth in that skill
• Percentile Rank: A first grade student with a percentile rank of 55 performed better than 55% of other first grade students in Florida.
96
Considerations for Growth
• Ability scores are on an equal interval scale whereas percentile rank is not
• Percentile rank is relative to other students’ performance and PLS is relative to another assessment.
• Ability score does not involve a comparison
