Benchmark Assessment System

The Benchmark Assessment System (BAS) is a standardized tool used by educators to evaluate students' reading abilities. It helps teachers measure how well students are progressing in areas like comprehension, fluency, and understanding of texts. By regularly assessing students at specific points during the year, BAS provides insight into each child's reading level, identifies those who may need additional support, and guides instruction to improve literacy skills. It balances ongoing classroom activities with formal assessments, ensuring teachers have accurate, timely information to support student learning effectively.
