MEETS STUDENTS AT THEIR READING LEVEL Students must read with a high degree of accuracy to enjoy reading and to develop their budding literacy skills. Literacy Pro collaborates with teachers to ensure that every student in every classroom can easily locate books at the student’s just-right reading range. During set-up, teachers using the Guided Reading or Lexile leveling system in their classroom can input student reading measures or levels into Literacy Pro. The inclusion of reading measures guarantees a customized browsing experience for students. As they explore books in Literacy Pro, students see a bullseye or "My Level" icon on titles within their independent reading range, although they are always free to read any title that aligns with their grade level and interests. In Lexile classrooms, a student’s independent reading range includes books that are 100L below and 50L above that student’s Lexile measure. In Guided Reading classrooms, the range includes books that are one and two Guided Reading levels below a student’s instructional level. Teachers also have the option to extend access to books in additional grade levels, either for an entire class or for individual students.

For educators who do not already have reading measures for students, Literacy Pro includes the Scholastic Reading Measure, an adaptive assessment that evaluates a student’s independent reading level and provides a valid and reliable Lexile measure. Teachers can administer the Scholastic Reading Measure to an entire class or to individual students before granting access to Literacy Pro. They can also assign the Scholastic Reading Measure a few times during the school year as an informal way to track students’ reading progress in conjunction with other sources of information.
