“It really helps my teachers have something concrete, they say ‘my student is weak here, this is what I should be doing to intervene.’”
“It is something not very taxing on our students, especially since you can break it up.”
“Having the ability to immediately talk to a human...made it very welcoming.”
“I’ve had many opportunities with almost any assessment out there... ReadBasix is the only assessment that picked up weaknesses in reading. With the 6 subtests, you can really figure out where the students’ weaknesses are, and then, if you do have to intervene, it’s going to be different for some students.”
“What’s nice with this assessment is that... I could break it up. So I could do word decoding, vocabulary, and morphology…those three subtests may take between 15 and 20 minutes... Once students are done with those three, we could just move on with, maybe, a shortened lesson for the day, but we didn’t lose a whole day of a lesson.”

“I love how the skills were broken down...”
“Process overall was easy, students could sign in with gmail accounts...”
“Students could stop and start assessments at any time. This helped with some students who don’t have the stamina for the whole test...”
