There are 8 assessment types covering reading, phonics, language, oral, fluency, and writing. Most are automatically graded by the system, while Fluency and Writing require manual teacher grading. Several assessments also set personalized practice for students — such as recommending books, quizzes, or a starting point in Phonics — helping tailor the learning experience based on each student's results.
