(ÉCLAIR) was developed in response to an overwhelming need for effective diagnostic assessment tools to support phonological awareness, phonics, and word reading skills in French Immersion programs across Ontario. This tool is designed to provide classroom educators with meaningful insight into next steps for teaching and learning these essential reading skills. ÉCLAIR is distinct from and does not replace Ministry-approved early reading screening tools that identify students who may be at risk for reading difficulties. This diagnostic assessment can be used in tandem with screening tools to determine students’ strengths and inform next steps for instruction.
