Madison will use ROLA to discover students’ strengths and needs in the areas of reading and oral language, which will drive the guided reading groups for grades k-2. For grades 3-6, ROLA is given as an essential universal screening and diagnostic tool to guide our tier 2 intervention for students who score BB, and FBB in the CST for ELA, specifically Reading Comprehension and Literary Response and Analysis.
