In our last episode, I shared the first reason the wheels might be falling off your literacy improvement efforts. If you haven't listened to that episode about the need for strong, decisive leadership, I suggest you go back and listen when you have a moment. 

In this week's episode, I'd like to discuss the second reason the wheels might be falling off your literacy improvement efforts, which is the importance of getting your assessment and data ducks in a row. I'll start this discussion with a few points about what we should be assessing in the early years and upper primary.
