- Listen to students' recordings from reading aloud a book or passage.
- Score all student recordings using an online running-record tool.

- Reward students' progress through awarding stars to spend in the RAZ Rocket.
- Track your students' progress over time.
Reading A-Z provides a three-part assessment process to help you place students in instructionally appropriate level texts.
- Find out at which level to start a student.
- Determine when a student is ready to move to the next level.
Part 1: Students read Benchmark Passages or Benchmark Books (Levels aa-J), and you capture their reading behavior on Running Records.
Part 2: Students retell the text, and you use Retelling Rubrics to score their comprehension.
Part 3: Students take an oral or written Comprehension Quick Check Quiz, and each question's answer tells what skill it assessed to help you identify comprehension skills for additional practice.
Part 1: Start with Benchmark Passages & Running Records or Benchmark Books & Running Records (Levels aa-J). Select a passage or book that best approximates a student's reading level. Use the running records that accompany each passage or book to score a student's reading behavior. (Initially you may have to take more than one running record to determine a student's instructional level.) To assess a student's instructional level in Spanish, use printable versions of the Spanish Benchmark Passages, or Pasajes estándar.
Review About Running Records to learn about the details of taking, marking and scoring a running record.
Parts 2 & 3: Retelling Rubrics and Comprehension Quick Check Quizzes provide details about a student's understanding and comprehension of the Benchmark Passage or Book.
- Retelling Rubrics provide details that identify strengths and weaknesses students might have comprehending fiction or nonfiction texts; including analysis of text structures.
- Benchmark Passages and Benchmark Books (Levels aa-J) have multiple-choice Comprehension Quick Check Quizzes and answer keys. Use the skill tags on the answer key to see comprehension strengths and opportunities for additional instruction.
The three-part process establishes a baseline of your students' levels. Assign leveled books from Reading A-Z's extensive collection for small group practice at students' instructional levels. Allow students to choose books below their instructional levels for independent practice.
How Do I Monitor Students' Reading Progress?
Use Benchmark Books or Benchmark Passages and their associated resources for progress monitoring as students' reading at their instructional levels improves.
Assessment Schedule
Developmental Level | Reading Level | Schedule |
---|---|---|
Beginning readers | Levels aa-C | every 2 to 4 weeks |
Developing readers | Levels D-J | every 4 to 6 weeks |
Effective readers | Levels K-P | every 6 to 8 weeks |
Automatic readers | Levels Q-Z | every 8 to 10 weeks |
Students who are not progressing at the expected rate should be assessed even more frequently than the Assessment Schedule suggests.

The scores your students achieve on running records, retellings, and comprehension quizzes give you valuable information about their reading behavior and comprehension. Use it to inform your instruction in addition to placing students and monitoring their progress.
Use the chart below along with the other information you learn from the three-part assessment process to determine if students are ready to move up a level.

How Do I Match Learning A-Z Levels to Other Leveling Systems?
For your convenience, Learning A-Z correlates its levels to other leveling systems. If you've already placed students in levels according to another system, please reference the Level Correlation Chart to determine how another system's levels best match Learning A-Z's levels.
The correlations are not official levels assigned by the other leveling systems, but rather an approximate correlation based on a comparison of attributes in books assigned official levels by both the other leveling system and Learning A-Z.

How dark is your core personality?
Ph. D. researchers Mashagen, Hilbich, and Zettler discovered the existence of a common center of negative human behavior, which they called the "dark core of the personality." The dark core is a general dispositional tendency, the manifestations of which are individual dark features. That is, numerous dark features have something in common, which is this core.
Do you have a dark core? For each following statement, indicate how much you agree or disagree with it.
Question 1 of 45
Sometimes it pays to endure a little trouble yourself if it will result in others getting the punishment they deserve.
Disagree | I agree |
