The Literacy Assessment Certificate is a unique course that combines the Teaching Foundation Literacy Skills (TFLS) course and Assessment of Foundational Reading Skills (AFRS).

You will have access to the content for a period of four months, starting from the date of your registration.

Overview

The Literacy Assessment Certification is a two-part course that provides research-based information, strategies, and activities for teaching foundational literacy skills (TFLS), and the Assessment of Foundational Reading Skills (AFRS) that are essential building blocks to strong word recognition and spelling skills. Use this course as a screener and/or diagnostic assessment for your students.
The AFRS portion guides educators how to use and administer the tool to assess students’ phonological awareness and phonics skills and then interpret student scores to inform planning for individual, small group, and classroom instruction.
The Literacy Assessment Certificate is issued upon completion of both parts.
Aligned with Alberta ELAL Curriculum.
Previously knowns as the Right to Read – Reading Readiness Screening Tool (RRST).
