OVERVIEW OF SCHOLASTIC LITERACY PRO Scholastic Literacy Pro ® is a comprehensive, web-based program that empowers students in Grades K–8 to take charge of their independent reading, both online and in print, by offering simultaneous access to more than 2,800 authentic, high-quality fiction and nonfiction ebooks, as well as connections to thousands of engaging paperback titles that are hard copies and read offline. Using Literacy Pro, students can track every book they are reading in any format, allowing them to log all of their independent reading in one place and monitor their reading growth over time. This capability gives educators a complete picture of each student’s reading activities, online and off, which can be used to enhance whole- and small-group instruction. Teachers can also use Literacy Pro as an instructional reading tool for in-person or online instruction. As a blended-learning solution, Literacy Pro has several key features.
Key Features
• Is accessible 24/7 on any device with a high-speed internet connection
• Provides simultaneous access to ebooks Literacy Pro provides simultaneous access to more than 2,800 ebooks, supporting equitable reading experiences, shared reading, student book clubs, and remote reading instruction. • Aligns with both Guided Reading and Lexile ® classrooms Literacy Pro uses student reading measures to indicate books that are appropriately challenging, although students are free to read any book at their grade level.¹ Teachers already using the Guided Reading or Lexile leveling system in their classrooms can input each student’s reading measure or level into Literacy Pro. Alternatively, they can assign the Scholastic Reading Measure within Literacy Pro to generate valid and reliable Lexile measures for their students. For teachers who use Next Step Guided Reading Assessment (NSGRA), Guided Reading levels will automatically sync to Literacy Pro. • Generates personalized book recommendations Sometimes the hardest part of reading is finding a book that grabs you. Literacy Pro helps students along, presenting collections of ebooks that match their grade level and self- identified interests. Books within a student’s independent reading level are noted with a check mark, but students can read any grade-level book that catches their eye. Teachers can also expand students’ libraries to include books from higher and lower grade levels.
• Fosters a goal-oriented mindset
1 Teachers may assign a range of grade levels for individual students or an entire class through the settings within Literacy Pro.
