Raz-Plus resources organized into weekly content-based units and differentiated instruction options.
Measure student progress to improve overall learning with Raz-Plus's collection of easy-to-use assessment tools for key reading behaviors and foundational skills-alphabet, phonological awareness, phonics, high-frequency words, fluency, and comprehension.
Assessments help you identify areas of instruction to meet every student's individual needs. Foundational skills require mastery before students can become fluent readers and comprehend what they are reading. Identifying key foundational skills and complex reading behaviors with assessments helps you focus your instructional time on concepts students struggle to understand. pose.
An assessment is any formal or informal measurement of student progress used to improve overall learning. Use our formal assessment tools to help diagnose a student's instructional needs and their understanding of the instruction delivered. Then, find resources from within Raz-Plus’s vast collection to differentiate your instruction based on each student’s assessed needs.
Provide students opportunities to practice some of these assessed skills with increasingly complex texts in our Leveled Book collection and by using our Leveled Book Support Resources, including Common Core Supplements, Discussion Cards, and Comprehension Quizzes, along with other resources such as Close Reading Packs.
