Reading Assistant Reporting
- Forrest Rose
Reading Assistant assessments produce meaningful information to track student progress, analyze reading abilities, and drive instruction. Reading Assistant evaluates and scores student speech automatically and instantaneously. Scored reading is parsed to enable a robust profile of reading ability metrics.
Reading Assistant provides detailed, actionable reports to support data-driven reading instruction. Analyzing student speech delivers insights that help educators track progress, identify intervention needs, assess dyslexia risk, group students for instruction, and pinpoint skill gaps for personalized learning.
Grounded in the Science of Reading, these reports offer clear, transparent data to guide instructional decisions.
The Dyslexia Risk Report in Reading Assistant helps educators quickly identify students who may be at risk for dyslexia. The report analyzes assessment data and provides a clear risk level for each student, supporting early intervention and instructional planning.
This article explains the core metrics used in Reading Assistant reports, including how they are defined, measured, and interpreted. These metrics help educators better understand student reading development, including Oral Reading Fluency, Reading Mastery, High-Frequency Words, Phonological Awareness, and Vocabulary Size.
This article provides an overview of the Practice Scoring screen in Reading Assistant. Educators can listen to student recordings, review color-coded transcripts, and adjust scoring. Changes made here will automatically update the student's Progress Report. The screen also includes tools for playback control, rescore options, and in-context FAQs for additional support.
This article introduces the Badging Report in Reading Assistant, which lets teachers track weekly reading activity and celebrate student achievements with badges and printable certificates. Teachers can view reading minutes and stories read, award badges, and create custom certificates, all within the Reading Assistant Portal. District or school admins must make this feature available.
This article explains how to access and review a student’s completed Progress Monitoring assessment in Reading Assistant. It covers how to verify assessment status, listen to audio recordings, and view individual and class-level data in the Progress and Benchmark Reports.
Progress monitoring in Reading Assistant uses ongoing student practice and assessment data to estimate reading mastery over time. This updated approach replaces formal testing with behind-the-scenes measurement, giving educators reliable growth insights without interrupting instruction. Learn how the system calculates predicted ability, tracks growth, and supports both English and Spanish readers.
The Class Progress Report provides a detailed view of each student's reading growth over time, combining assessment and practice data into a single interactive dashboard. Educators can view scores, track estimated mastery, explore session-level details, and batch print reports for the entire class. The report supports both English and Spanish data, making it a central tool for monitoring student progress and setting goals.
The Growth Visualization report helps administrators measure Reading Assistant’s impact by comparing reading growth between students who meet usage targets and those who do not. Using ARM scores from benchmark assessments, the report shows how regular practice correlates with accelerated reading development. Growth is displayed in weeks and updated weekly, offering a clear view of program effectiveness across grade levels.
The Parent Report is designed to help teachers share clear, accessible updates on student reading progress with families. It includes key assessment scores, explanations, and tips parents can use at home. Teachers can customize, print, or save reports in English or Spanish, making it easy to support meaningful school-to-home communication.
The Tracking Report is a central hub for managing student activity in Reading Assistant. It allows educators to assign assessments, monitor student progress, configure practice settings, and track weekly reading time. With detailed status indicators and easy access to key reports, the Tracking Report helps teachers support student growth in real-time.
The Skills Status Report gives teachers a real-time visual overview of student mastery across every reading skill, not just grade-level content. Organized by Scarborough’s Reading Rope, the report uses color-coded indicators to show skill proficiency and offers instructional resources aligned to selected curricula. It is a powerful tool for grouping students and planning targeted instruction.
The Benchmark Assessment in Reading Assistant includes up to twelve components, combining dyslexia screening tasks with an oral reading fluency passage. Depending on grade level and district settings, students may complete different components throughout the year. This assessment provides critical data for multiple reports and helps inform instructional planning.
The ARM score is a norm-referenced measure of a student’s overall reading ability, calculated from multiple tasks within the Benchmark Assessment. It allows educators to track growth, compare students across skill levels, and group for instruction, even for early readers. The ARM score appears in the Benchmark, Progress, and Parent Reports and is available in both English and Spanish.
