Suggested Next Steps for PAT Reading
This page provides you with a direct link with the ARBs where you can find curriculum levelled activities to use as diagnostic teaching tools to provide 'in class' evidence that students know and understand a skill, or do not.
Each individual item inside the test will also provide this link.
The Comprehension Strategies link provides succinct descriptions of the strategies from the Effective Literacy Handbook 1-4 and 5 -8, with links to activities to use in teaching.
By looking across student test results, and having conversations with students around these results, your next focus might be to access the ARB resources that provide further materials for Reading.
