Hear what educators have to say about Capti ReadBasix.
Note that ReadBasix has been also known as RISE, SARA, or ReadReady.
“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.”
"Something interesting is the number of teachers who said, 'Wow, I didn’t realize I could get information on all these different aspects of how kids read!'...”
“In a lot of ways RISE [ReadBasix] helped to not only provide teachers with information but to instruct teachers and build their knowledge of how young people become proficient readers, even at a more advanced level...”
“[Capti Assess] gives us those 6 subsets or cores of understanding that a good reader needs...”
“Best part of RISE [ReadBasix] test is the comprehensive data it provides in such a short amount of time, we were able to identify which students were struggling and in which specific areas...”
“Teachers like RISE [ReadBasix] because start to finish teachers only lost 55-75 minutes of lesson time for wonderful and useful data...”
“State/City data didn’t provide any detailed information as to why our students were struggling to read...”
“RISE [ReadBasix] allowed us to find where students were struggling, group them, and provide targeted instruction...”
“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...”
