The purpose of this study was to determine the screening measures used to
assess students entering kindergarten in the state of Indiana. In addition, this study
sought to determine how the data from these measures are used to inform
classroom reading instruction. Eighty-nine schools participated in the study and
sixty-two of those schools completed the entire survey, as they were amongst the
schools that assess students upon entrance into kindergarten. The survey was sent
a total of four times. General findings indicated that Indiana schools assess students
inconsistently upon entrance into kindergarten, with variations existing in the
administration procedures of screening measures and the type of screening
measure. Schools who responded to this survey generally expressed dissatisfaction
with current screening measures administered and the results gathered from these
measures. In addition, schools who participated in this study reported the use of
data to inform classroom instruction, but not all schools specified that reading
instruction was informed by the data. / Department of Elementary Education
