Reading Check

This is the starting point for a learner who has not yet been placed. A parent, teacher, or tutor shows the items, observes, and records. The result recommends the stage where the learner should begin.

Progress

Progress means more than finishing a page.

Inside a stage, the tracker follows the smaller skills the learner is building. For example, Stage 1 can track hearing the short vowel, reading CVC words, building words, reading the story, and completing the quick check.
