Every student is an individual. Based on over 30 years of research, mCLASS® is the gold-standard assessment and instructional suite for early literacy that helps every child learn to read confidently.
mCLASS is an integrated literacy system based on the Science of Reading which offers teacher-administered assessment and holistic instruction for grades K–6.
mCLASS Lectura is a universal screener for grades K–6 built on modern Spanish literacy research that helps you accelerate reading growth for your Spanish-speaking students by delivering complete parity between English and Spanish assessments.
