How results work
1
Step 1 — Administer at your pace.
Open a check and go — no setup, no logins. Timing is built in where you need it and optional where you don't.
2
Step 2 — Get analysis, not just a score.
Results organize by skill, include benchmark or category information where appropriate, and suggest possible instructional focus areas.
3
Step 3 — You decide where results go.
Print or save the report with your own records, following your school or tutoring policies. Student names and assessment histories are not saved to teacher accounts.
Foundational-skills results on page one. Instructional analysis on page two.
Each letter and phonics report keeps the score easy to find while providing a separate page for patterns and possible next steps.
More than a score
Each foundational-skills check generates a print-ready report that organizes results by skill and suggests possible areas of instructional focus. These are informal checks to guide teaching — not diagnostic tools or formal screeners — designed to help you see what a student knows and plan what to teach next.
