As an educator, you know that helping students improve their reading skills requires more than just practice - it requires a clear strategy. The Readable English program is a research-backed, highly effective approach that leads to significant growth in students' reading abilities. And beyond its core methodology, it also includes powerful tools for tracking individual progress, allowing you to see the impact of learning interventions in real time.
Assessing students' reading abilities regularly provides invaluable insights into their development. By leveraging our partnership with MetaMetrics Inc. and the Lexile® Framework, Readable English helps you:
Identify each student's starting point
Set and adjust personalized goals
Continuously track progress
Use data-driven strategies to boost comprehension and fluency
At the beginning of the academic year, our easy-to-administer online benchmark assessments help determine your students' reading levels. These include:
Reading Comprehension: 20 questions
Oral Reading Fluency (ORF): Three 1-minute reads
This initial data serves as a guide for setting individualized learning goals and mapping out a clear path for improvement.
Our system enables ongoing progress monitoring through ORF assessments every 10 days. These quick 1-minute readings help you:
Track fluency improvements
Identify persistent challenges
Adjust instruction based on real-time insights
For instance, if a student reaches the 1200L Lexile ceiling level in ORF but struggles with comprehension, you can shift your focus to working on language development and vocabulary activities to ensure well-rounded growth.
We believe in making data work for you. Our platform provides:
Clear student performance reports, showing progress over time
Grade-level comparisons to identify at-risk students
Suggested goals based on normative growth data
Imagine having a powerful reading program that leads to significant literacy growth, but also gives you the ability to track that progress at an individual level. With Readable English, you’re not just implementing an effective literacy intervention, you’re equipping yourself with real-time data to fine-tune learning actions and maximize success.
With Readable English, you get:
A research-backed program proven to drive reading improvement
Assessment tools with actionable data insights to refine your instruction
Personalized goal-setting capabilities
If you're ready to transform how your students learn to read, join Readable English today and give them the tools they need for lifelong literacy success. Contact us to schedule a demo or explore our resource library.
