Tips for taking action using your Reading Progress data report:

Encourage educators to establish a baseline:

Reading fluency is typically of interest in primary schools, but many students enter middle and high school without the fluency they need to be successful with grade level texts. Support student comprehension by encouraging educators to assess their students' baseline reading fluency. This can help to identify gaps in vocabulary and decoding skills and help educators to provide appropriate scaffolding for their students' growth - as well as prove their effectiveness as educators.

Use Reading Progress for subject matter passages:

Educators can learn a lot from a students' ability to read an assigned passage aloud. By using Reading Progress in subjects like history or science, educators can get a sense of what background knowledge students may be missing.
