Progress monitoring - Answers regular assessments conducted to track a student's
progress in reading over time; helps educators adjust instruction based on student

Summative assessment - Answers an evaluation administered at the end of an
instructional period to measure a student's overall learning and performance; used to
evaluate the effectiveness of instruction and programs
formative assessment - Answers using informal and formal assessments during the

Intervention plan - Answers a targeted instructional plan based on diagnostic
assessment results to address specific skill deficits and support student learning
BOY, MOY, and EOY - Answers beginning of year (BOY), middle of year (MOY),
end of year (EOY); different times of the year that universal screening occurs
Data-driven problem-solving process - Answers a system used to diagnose students'
instructional needs using both screening and diagnostic assessments
Mastery - Answers ability to apply new learning with a different technique in a
different context; for example, after learning the grapheme 'ai' mastery would be a
student's ability to apply that knowledge in decodable text with a word not practiced

Unviersal instruction - Answers Tier 1 instruction; before you can focus on small-
group instruction, universal instruction should benefit all students; this will limit the
number of students needing small-group instruction
Response to intervention (RTI) - Answers a key component within the MTSS that
focuses on providing tiered academic and behavioral support to struggling students;
this approach uses assessment, progress monitoring, and data-driven decision-making
to enhance student performance and reduce referrals to special ed
Multisensory techniques - Answers techniques for teaching phonics that engage
multiple senses, making learning more interactive and memorable for students
Instructional routine - Answers structured and repetitive approach used by educators
to teach literacy skills systematically; typically involves a series of steps or activities
