What should parents know about Saskatchewan’s new early literacy assessments?
Saskatchewan is taking steps to identify students who may need additional support with reading through its Actions to Improve Early Literacy (AIEL) initiative.

Early literacy screeners help teachers identify areas where a child may need extra support with foundational reading skills. They’re one piece of the puzzle — not the whole picture of your child as a reader.
The goal isn’t just to get through a reading assessment. It’s to understand how children are learning to read so we can support them along the way.
