ASSESSMENT SUITE
Pinpoint Learner Needs
Assessing student skills is about guiding instruction in the moment. Teachers gather evidence of learning through daily checks, weekly skill checkpoints, and unit assessments that surface misconceptions early and confirm mastery over time. Benchmark tests at the beginning, middle, and end-of-year track cumulative growth, while adaptive diagnostics pinpoint exact skill gaps and create a personalized literacy profile. Progress monitoring ensures students are ready to advance, helping teachers fine-tune pacing and intensity—so every learner gets the right support at the right time.
SEAMLESS INSTRUCTION
Simplified for Impact
Every lesson integrates common themes and genres across reading, writing, speaking, and listening—developed together and woven with foundational skills, language, and comprehension. Grounded in our proven method of instruction, a purposeful progression ensures skills are strengthened and mastered across every grade and tier.
INTUITIVE DASHBOARDS
Every Learner’s Journey Clearly Seen
No matter if a student is in whole-class instruction or intervention, their data follows them—creating one connected view of progress. Administrators track school-wide growth, teachers monitor progress through customizable dashboards, caregivers stay connected to learning, and students see and celebrate their own achievements in dashboards designed just for them.
