LION for Pre-Kindergarten
The LION universal screener for pre-kindergarten evaluates both literacy and math. The test is done both independently by the student and one-on-one with the teacher. Teachers get purposeful, key data using the powerful Tango reports to group their students, find activities to reinforce skills, and monitor student progress.
