Closing the Gap Between Language Growth and Grade-Level Literacy
English learners must meet the same grade-level literacy bar as their peers, often with disconnected tools slowing progress.
Accelerate to Literacy™ closes that gap in one platform: a placement screener reveals each student's needs, then personalized pathways deliver targeted, standards-aligned practice toward grade-level literacy and Smarter Balanced readiness.
Key Benefits
Provide Targeted Practice
Personalized pathways accelerate literacy growth by targeting the reading, writing, and academic language skills English each learner need most.
Every student moves at their own pace.
Build Academic Language Alongside Literacy Skills
Literacy and language development happen together, so students build the academic English that grade-level content and assessments require of them.
Prepare Students for Rigorous Literacy Expectations
Standards-aligned practice uses the same item types and accessibility tools students will see on the Smarter Balanced Assessment, building familiarity and confidence that helps them on test day.
Close Opportunity Gaps
Placement screeners can be issued with or without embedded language supports. The screener identifies each student's academic and language-access needs, giving every learner an accurate starting point and optimal learning pathway.
Empower Data-Informed Instruction
Real-time reports break down performance by standard, claim, and target — down to individual questions — so educators can spot trends and target instruction accordingly.
Support Long-Term Academic Success
By connecting English language development to grade-level ELA achievement, Accelerate to Literacy builds the literacy foundation students need well beyond a single test.
