AERO Mastery Check Assessment Materials

AERO Mastery Check assessments determine when students need more practice or review, or are ready to advance to the next unit.

Mastery Checks:

An AERO Mastery Check occurs approximately every two units. Mastery Checks are a way to monitor students’ progress and ensure proficiency of skills taught in the previous units before moving to the next unit. Each Mastery Check has four skill areas in which students are assessed: letter sound knowledge, decoding words, sight word recognition, and sentence reading. Mastery Check results help inform teachers’ instructional decisions as teachers are prompted to proceed to the next unit, complete a Review Activity, or complete a Reteach Lesson based on student’s performance.
