Students’ early language and literacy skills are measured using the Virginia Language & Literacy Screening System (VALLSS). Virginia Literacy Partnerships (VLP) collects and analyzes data.

Quick Overview of the VLP Measures

The VKRP assessments of mathematics, self-regulation, and social skills complement the Virginia Language & Literacy Screening System (VALLSS) and are used in all 132 Virginia kindergarten school divisions and in publicly funded pre-kindergarten classrooms.

The Virginia Language & Literacy Screener: Pre-K (VALLS: Pre-K) and Virginia Language & Literacy Screener: Kindergarten (VALLS: K) are proactive, preventive screening measures that assist teachers, schools, and programs in providing differentiated, targeted instruction to meet each child’s needs. VALLSS provides teachers with invaluable information that they can use to plan appropriate instruction for all readers based on the data gathered from the screeners.
