EGRA Overview

The Early Grades Reading Assessment (EGRA) is a diagnostic tool used to assess foundational literacy skills of students in grades 1-3. It focuses on early grades because learning to read proficiently in the first few grades is essential for learning in other subjects as children progress in school. Children who struggle with reading in later grades are more likely to repeat grades and eventually drop out of school. The EGRA helps identify students' current reading levels, monitor their progress, and support teachers to improve students' literacy skills through evidence-based instructional techniques. This allows schools to intervene as needed to ensure students are learning to read well.

The Early Grades Reading Assessment (EGRA): An Overview

What is EGRA?
a diagnostic instrument designed to assess the foundation skills for literacy acquisition of grades 1 to 3 pupils.

Why focus on early grades?


The ability to read and understand a simple text is one of the most fundamental skills a child can learn. Learning to read with understanding and at a sufficient rate is essential for learning to read well.

Acquiring literacy becomes more difficult as students grow older. Children who do not learn to read in the first few grades are unable to learn the other subject areas in the upper grades. (learn to read; read to learn)

Children who cant read in the upper grades are more likely to repeat and eventually drop out.
