This year, all TK students at LAUSD are required to take a standardized screening test intended for kindergarteners, assessing reading fluency with one-minute tests, sparking protests and concerns about appropriateness for 4-year-olds.
The developer of DIBELS, the literacy test, Gina Biancarosa, mentioned it hasn't been validated for such young children, expressing concerns about the unapproved usage despite its perceived value for assessing school readiness.
