The one-stop solution for New Jersey’s literacy mandates
New Jersey now requires universal literacy screening and parent notifications. To meet these mandates, NJDOE’s Student Literacy Working Group fully recommends mCLASSⓇ DIBELSⓇ 8th Edition as the trusted solution to help schools.
Some of the requirements of the New Jersey Department of Education’s Senate Bill 2644 include:
- Mandatory screenings: Schools must conduct literacy screenings for all K–3 students at least twice annually to assess reading proficiency levels.
- Parental notification: Within 30 days of the screening period’s end, schools are required to inform parents or guardians of the results, including comparisons to grade-level norms and available intervention supports.
mCLASS offers New Jersey all of the following, plus many more additional features to support students and teachers:
- Universal screening
- Dyslexia screening
- Instant data analysis and reporting
- Parental notification letter
