What is the Reading Assistant Reading Mastery Score or ARM Score
ARM is a composite score derived from our curriculum based tasks as part of the Benchmark Assessment / Dyslexia Screener. During the screener process, students attend to 5 to 10 tasks and the ARM Score is a synthesis of a student’s demonstrated ability across the tasks – every task that the student does, from the Oral Reading Fluency passage to Reading Comprehension to the Rapid Automatized Naming task, will factor into their ARM score.
...
The best way to use the ARM Score is to consider the ARM PR. Reading Assistant has established cutlines consistent with those set by State Departments of Education and other educational technology assessments.
...
Does a student’s ARM score affect the student’s experience in practice mode?
No. The ARM score is not driving the student practice experience. Reading Assistant uses a separate algorithm to recommend content to students. This algorithm takes into account the student’s recent fluency performance as well as text complexity. For example, you may see students displaying a 2.0 ARM but receiving kindergarten or first-grade-level stories as practice resources.

Yes! Beginning with the 24/25 school year, the ARM score is available in English and Spanish on the same GLE scale.
