Five years out from the pandemic, young readers have made much progress—but the pace has slowed.

The latest end-of-year data show improvement in early literacy across grades K–2. Overall, insights suggest:

  • More young learners are above benchmark, and fewer are behind.
  • Year over year improvements have slowed.
  • Outcomes vary for boys and girls.

Bar chart showing the percent of kindergarten students on track, with values 55, 38, 47, 52, 54, and 55. Highest and lowest percentages are 55% and 38%.

More young learners are above benchmark, fewer are behind.

68 percent of K–2 students are on track to learn to read. While progress was less dramatic than in recent years, students are more likely to end the year on track in the earliest grades (K–1).

Table showing change in scores for Kindergarten to Grade 2 from 2020–21 (-6 to -18 pts) and 2023–24 (-1 pt for all). Grades K–2 overall: -12 pts (2020–21), -1 pt (2023–24).

Year-over-year improvements have slowed, despite overall gains.

Despite overall gains, year-over-year improvements in reading readiness have slowed. Since the 2023–24 school year, the percentage of students on track has improved by only 1–2 points in each grade.

Bar chart showing percent of male and female students on track for learning to read in 2024–25; females score higher than males both at start (72% vs 68%) and end of year (71% vs 66%).

Gender disparities are complex, with varying outcomes for boys and girls.

Across grades K–2, boys score the same or better than girls in reading readiness at the beginning of the year. But girls show more improvement than boys during the school year, narrowing gaps by end-of-year.

Expect more from your assessments with mCLASS Math.

Understanding student thinking is the key to accelerating student performance.

Welcome to mCLASS® Math, the benchmarking and progress monitoring system for grades K–8 that measures proficiency, reveals underlying mathematical thinking, and informs instructional support for every learner. Analyzing student responses to reveal valid underlying mathematical thinking—even in wrong answers—helps better target individualized instructional recommendations that build grade-level proficiency.

Explore samples

Meet mCLASS Math.

mCLASS Math’s research-based benchmark and progress monitoring assessment system tracks performance against grade-level expectations to help predict later growth outcomes.

With screening and diagnostic capabilities and empirically established cut scores to assess risk, mCLASS Math reporting helps educators pinpoint strengths and areas of growth for individualized instructional support for every student. Together, these establish a strong Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS).

Explore skills coverage

This powerful assessment is digitally assigned to the whole class three times annually: beginning-of-year (BOY), middle-of-year (MOY), and end-of-year (EOY). The open responses of the assessment give more robust data-points gathered from each item, and it only takes 30 to 40 minutes to complete.

Designed to target critical grade-level skills that predict success, the rich data can be used as a diagnostic tool for Tier 2 and Tier 3 intervention and flags for the potential risk of dyscalculia.

mCLASS Progress Monitoring assessments help teachers chart students’ progression between benchmark assessment windows. For students receiving targeted support, mCLASS Progress Monitoring determines if intervention is effective or adjustments are needed to enhance student learning.

These short yet effective assessments enable teachers to monitor a student’s math performance between mCLASS Benchmark assessments. mCLASS Progress Monitoring assessments can be assigned to a select group of students needing targeted support in a specific skill or Tier 2 or Tier 3 intervention, and are aligned around crucial math domains for each grade level.

Assess in less time.

With the groundbreaking digital analysis of student thinking, mCLASS Math teachers can rely on the predictive validity of assessments in less time.

The powerful Student Response Analysis of open-ended questions provides deep insight into what and how students think—faster and with fewer questions.

About the program

mCLASS Math is a digital assessment system designed to evaluate student performance and growth against grade-level expectations throughout the year. The program empowers educators and students with:

  • Valid, reliable, and research-based assessments that take less time, so you can measure student proficiency and growth without taking time away from instruction.
  • Valuable insights into student math thinking that move beyond right or wrong answers, revealing students’ processes so you can accelerate grade-level learning by building on what they already know.
  • Data that drives instruction, turning assessment results into clear next steps for differentiation and intervention—all aligned with your core math program and MTSS framework.

mCLASS Math is available for grades K–5 in the 2025–26 school year and for grades K–8 in the 2026–27 school year.

Access deeper insights into students’ understanding

Traditional assessments focus only on right or wrong answers. mCLASS Math goes deeper, revealing how students think about grade-level math and what they already understand.

This asset-based approach recognizes that every student has their own ways of thinking. Their individual strengths, experiences, understandings, and strategies—or assets, as we collectively refer to them—inform the robust data that powers mCLASS Math. By focusing on what students already know and where they need support, teachers can confidently build on each target area for growth and accelerate grade-level learning with confidence.

An authentic Spanish assessment built specifically for bilingual students learning to read

Part of the mCLASS® Español suite, mCLASS Lectura is a universal screener for K–6 built on modern Spanish literacy research. It helps educators accelerate reading growth for Spanish-speaking students by delivering complete parity between English and Spanish reading assessments. Para la versión en español, haga clic aquí.

Promoting fairness for Spanish-speaking students in early literacy

Spanish-speaking students have been underserved and misclassified for decades. By combining mCLASS Lectura and mCLASS® DIBELS® 8th Edition, you’ll be able to understand where your Spanish-speaking students are in their English and Spanish literacy paths.

Based on the science behind how students learn to read in English and Spanish, the mCLASS system allows teachers to connect with their Spanish-speaking students face-to-face, one-on-one, and in the language most comfortable to them. Teachers are able to pinpoint where their Spanish-speaking or emergent bilingual students really are in their literacy skill development and what instruction to prioritize.

What experts say

“It’s incredibly important we attend to the Spanish language alongside English in assessment practices, to make sure we’re not underestimating the ability of a really significant percentage of our nation’s school population.”

–Dr. Lillian Durán

Co-developer of mCLASS Lectura, Ph.D., Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, College of Education, University of Oregon

Built by leading biliteracy experts

The mCLASS® Lectura universal screener was co-developed with the Center on Teaching and Learning at the University of Oregon. The assessment was validated by Amplify in partnership with Dr. Lillian Durán of the University of Oregon.

The development of mCLASS Lectura also involved a team of nationally recognized experts representing a range of regions (Mexico, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean), along with focus groups featuring classroom teachers, special education teachers, specialists, and administrators.

Our approach

Aligned to the Science of Reading, mCLASS Lectura allows teachers to connect with their students through observational assessment and in the language most comfortable to them. We built mCLASS Lectura so that when used in tandem with mCLASS DIBELS 8th Edition, educators can achieve complete parity between English and Spanish literacy skills.

Complete parity between English and Spanish

mCLASS Lectura is an authentic Spanish assessment that delivers complete parity when combined with mCLASS DIBELS 8th Edition, including parallel reporting across English and Spanish assessments and unique dual-language reporting.

Listen to your students read in both languages, one-on-one

mCLASS Lectura provides teacher-administered assessments in Spanish that deliver accurate and reliable measurements of each student’s literacy progress. 

Built from the latest research in Spanish literacy development

mCLASS Lectura is a high-quality assessment that accounts for the major differences between English and Spanish, not simply a direct translation or transadaptation between the two languages. 

Transfer skills in one language to the other

By providing teachers with insights into the skill areas in which their students are proficient, in their native language, the program helps Spanish-speakers build on their strengths and make connections to their second language. Educators also receive guidance on the cross-linguistic transfer of critical skills in both languages.

What’s included

mCLASS Lectura includes one-minute measures validated for universal and dyslexia screening, and provides dual language reports for teachers and administrators.

Comprehensive Spanish literacy measures in mCLASS Lectura

mCLASS Lectura is validated to assess for all key foundational skills for K–6, including:

  • Letter Naming
  • Phonological Awareness
  • Alphabetic Principle
  • Fluency
  • Comprehension
Learn more

Reports in English and Spanish

mCLASS Lectura analyzes Spanish literacy and English literacy development side by side, enabling you to see where kids are in both languages.

Instructional activities to build Spanish literacy skills

With mCLASS Lectura, educators get hundreds of step-by-step instructional activities for small groups or individual students and receive effective activities to target the Spanish literacy skills with which students need the most support.

Comprehensive reporting

mCLASS Lectura provides reporting for everyone at all levels, from classroom teachers and literacy specialists to principals and district leaders, as well as parents and guardians at home.

Detailed assessment data

mCLASS Lectura provides transcripts of every assessment and identifies error patterns to help educators make instructional decisions for students on the skills they need to work on the most. The program also includes letters with student assessment results and analysis to send home or to use as a basis for discussion at conferences.

Early literacy assessment & intervention, grounded in the Science of Reading

mCLASS is an all-in-one system for Science of Reading-based universal screening, dyslexia screening, progress monitoring, and instruction for grades K–8. Powered by DIBELS® 8th Edition, mCLASS helps you measure and strengthen the foundational skills that all students need to become confident readers.

What is mCLASS?

mCLASS, the only digital provider of DIBELS 8th edition assessments, provides universal screening, dyslexia screening and progress monitoring to assess your students on their reading trajectory and what skills they need to develop.

You’ll observe students as they form sounds or read words and text. Then, mCLASS instantly scores and analyzes student response patterns to provide you with diagnostic data and instructional focus for each student and group.

With mCLASS, you’ll have everything you need to support every type of learner in your classroom, including advanced learners, multilingual learners, and students with signs of dyslexia.

What educators say

“If you’re trying to shift the balance and move into the Science of Reading, mCLASS is going to give you a great way to group kids by skill.”

Angela

Lufkin Independent School District, Director of Early Childhood Education

What educators say

“Getting the human brain to read is very complex, and mCLASS has helped me problem-solve with my PLC and the strategies I’m using in the classroom.”

Anne

Teacher, Wake County School District, Oakview Elementary School

What educators say

“One of the things that I think the data dashboard has really helped us to do is to work smarter not harder.”

Natalie

Supervisor of Elementary Ed, K-12 Instructional Technology and K-12 ELL, Metuchen School District

Valid and reliable DIBELS 8th Edition assessments

Developed in partnership with the University of Oregon, mCLASS DIBELS 8th Edition is founded on the strongest-ever research base for predicting reading proficiency, including identifying those at risk for dyslexia.

For more than 30 years, the University of Oregon has led the research behind DIBELS (Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills). mCLASS is the only licensed digital provider of the evidence-based DIBELS 8th Edition assessment. See more of our research.

Our approach

mCLASS provides rich data to help you match Science of Reading-based instruction with your students’ precise needs. You’ll be able to monitor the effectiveness of instruction and make timely decisions when students or classrooms need extra support.
