Teacher Experience
Your day, streamlined
We built Into Reading to do the busy work for you, so you’re free to do what you do best. With each iteration, we listen to teachers to discover how to maximize their time, such as creating a new session organizer that guides the daily lesson flow and supplies resources in a scannable format.
Make great gains in small groups
We know your time for small-group reading instruction has the biggest potential for impact. Our lessons and resources support all instructional needs, whether multilingual, accelerated, or Tier III.
Assess less, measure more
Assessments and formative quick checks give you the right data to answer the question, “What’s next?” You can use assessment results for instructional planning, standards-aligned content recommendations, and differentiated reading instruction.
