In the 2020/21 school year, the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) began an ongoing effort to collect and analyze literacy screening assessment data from schools and districts participating in certain state grants to inform improvement efforts. Grantee schools and districts that provide literacy screening assessment data to DESE select their screening assessments from a list of state-approved, commercially available literacy screener products. Each assessment is typically administered to students three times per year (most commonly in the fall/beginning of year [BOY], winter/middle of year [MOY], and spring/ end of year [EOY]). Analysis of 2021/22 and earlier data provided a first look at early literacy performance and progress of students in Massachusetts, offering a number of key insights. This issue brief provides highlights from follow-up analysis using data from the 2022/23 school year.
