RtI (Response to Intervention) or MTSS (Multi-tiered Support System) models. The following reports provide important insight and easy ways to take immediate action.

IMPORTANT: The more students use the curriculum and complete assignments, the more accurate the student proficiency data becomes. Use the Attendance and Usage Summary reports to monitor whether students are using the program at least 15 minutes per day, 3-5 days per week.
