Acadience Testing
Acadience testing is a short, one-on-one assessment tool used to evaluate early literacy and reading skills in Kindergarten - 3rd Grade students. Formerly known as DIBELS (Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills). The data is used to see if a student is on track and spots reading difficulties early.
ESA Elementary day of testing is Friday, September 25, 2026. Please make sure your child gets good sleep, breakfast, and arrive to school on time for positive results on the test.
