PALS
617 West Main Street Third Floor Charlottesville, VA 22902 Toll Free: 888-UVA-PALS (888-882-7257) Fax: 434-982-2793 E-mail: [email protected] URL: http://pals.virginia.edu PALS is the state-provided screening tool for Virginia’s Early Intervention Reading Initiative (EIRI). The purpose of the EIRI is to reduce the number of children with reading problems by detecting those problems early and providing research-based, small-group intervention. By screening K-3 students with PALS, participating school divisions identify struggling readers and receive incentive funds for intervention. All students not meeting the Entry Level benchmark for their grade level must receive intervention services in addition to their regular classroom instruction. Virginia is unique in providing funding to school divisions for intervention based on a statewide literacy screening. |
