Acadience® Reading 7–8
Essential Workshop

Supporting Acadience Reading 7–8 and 9–12 implementation
Â
Learn how to administer and score.
Asynchronous, Self-paced Learning
The Acadience Reading 7-8 Essential Workshop is a one-day (6 instructional hours) training designed to provide an in-depth understanding of the conceptual and empirical foundations of Acadience Reading, as well as training in administration and scoring of the measures. Because the same assessment measures are used in both Acadience Reading 7-8 and Acadience Reading 9-12, this workshop supports educators implementing Acadience Reading across grades 7-12.
This workshop is for teachers, administrators, instructional leaders, interventionists, and all personnel who will conduct assessments.
The Essential Workshop uses a scaffolded, interactive, and practice-driven training process in which participants learn the administration and scoring rules for each measure. For each measure, correct and incorrect scoring examples are provided, and participants practice applying scoring rules before engaging in large-group practice in timing and scoring the entire measure. Participants then work in triads to practice administering and scoring each measure, alternating between the roles of assessor, student, and observer.
In addition to learning traditional paper-based administration and scoring procedures, participants are introduced to digital administration and scoring workflows. Educators interested in digital implementation will learn how digital tools can support efficient assessment administration, scoring, and data capture while maintaining standardized assessment practices.
Required materials for the Essential Workshop include the Acadience Reading 7-8 Essential Workbook. Additional materials include a stopwatch and a clipboard for paper-based assessment. Participants interested in digital implementation will also receive supplemental resources and guidance related to digital administration and scoring practices.
Â
As a result of this training, participants will have knowledge and understanding of:
- The conceptual and research foundations of Acadience Reading
- The purpose and appropriate use of each assessment measure
- Standardized administration procedures
- Accurate scoring practices to ensure reliable results
- How to administer and score each measure using paper-based and digital scoring workflows
- The organizational processes and considerations for conducting the assessments and using the data.
