Scholastic A2i: Summary of Research

A2i is a system for literacy instruction that has been shown to significantly improve student reading outcomes. Meeting ESSA Tier 1 “strong” evidence requirements, A2i leverages technology-based and professional development components (online assessments, data-driven recommendations, and aligned instructional planning) to raise literacy outcomes in Grades K–3. The system uses data from brief online assessments of vocabulary, decoding, and comprehension to make individualized recommendations for each student. Specifically, A2i provides educators with the number of minutes each student needs across meaning-focused or code-focused instruction as well as teacher-managed or student-managed instruction. A2i data is also used to create student groups, provide individualized instructional lesson plans, and monitor student growth. With robust, ongoing professional learning over a three-year implementation, A2i supports both student and teacher growth.
