Use Istation's teacher reports to target small-group instruction and lessons for struggling readers¶

Evidence · no claims cited

Description¶

The assessment component produces reports for teachers: "Teachers receive information to support small-group instruction and lessons for struggling readers." The reports identify students' strengths and areas for improvement across the assessed reading domains, and the program can be implemented by teachers, interventionists, or paraprofessionals. This makes the assessment data a routing tool for grouping and targeted lessons.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• Teachers must have access to the program's reports identifying students' strengths and areas for improvement.

Constraints¶

• The article describes report-supported small-group instruction as the program's intended use; it does not separately evaluate the reports' effect.

Target Learners¶

• Struggling readers in prekindergarten through Grade 8

Target Learning Goals¶

• Targeted reading intervention informed by assessment data

Related Strategies¶

• Implement Istation as a supplemental curriculum at the recommended 30–40 minutes of weekly use
• Reflecting on Student Strengths and Challenges
