For instance, among the language abilities students have lost (having learned them before schools were closed due to the pandemic) are — describing a picture or their experiences orally,
reading familiar words, reading with comprehension, and writing simple sentences based on a picture. In math, the abilities measured included identifying single and double digit numbers,
performing arithmetic operations, using basic arithmetic operations for solving problems, describing 2D/3D shapes, and reading and drawing inferences from data.
