 BoSY CRLA: Beginning of School Year CRLA 2

The BoSY CRLA determines students’ level of mastery of previous grade level reading concepts and skills, with focus on
alphabet knowledge and decoding, and their readiness to learn new reading concepts and skills for their current grade
level.

This is ideally administered within the first month of the school year for immediate intervention, but results can provide
useful data all throughout the year.
