# Reporting- Does PLD provide templates to report literacy development to parents?

###### At this stage, PLD does not have a reporting template for schools.

| SUGGESTIONS

###### SUGGESTION ONE: STANDARDISED ASSESSMENTS

 Most schools utilise end-of-year standardised assessments to assist in the reporting process for Years 1-6. These assessments offer insights into how students are faring in comparison to other students their age and how close to the expected level they are. When scheduled annually, a minimum of a 12 month increase in ability is what teaching staff are employed to deliver.

The following may be of use:

###### SUGGESTION TWO: USE ASSESSMENT SCREENS FOR WEAK STUDENTS

Consider using different colours when completing individual screening assessments for weaker students ([Students Experiencing Difficulty Acquiring Stage 1 screens](https://pld-literacy.org/product/assessments-for-students-experiencing-difficulty-within-stage-1/)) . This is an easy way to show growth and, as it is individual student data, can be shared during parent-teacher meetings.
