ESGI is typically used by Pre-K through 2nd grade teachers, as well as Reading/Resource Specialists who assess students one-on-one. We have pre-loaded ESGI with tests that are typically given by K-2 teachers. ESGI is a one-on-one online assessment platform.

Teachers use the data from ESGI to differentiate instruction, inform parents and administration, re-teach, show growth over time, and guide their instruction.

mCLASS is an integrated, gold standard literacy system based on the science of reading that offers teacher-administered assessment and holistic instruction for grades K–2.

A lifelong love of reading depends on confidence, perseverance, and grit. How can we build confidence in every student—regardless of where they are on their reading journey?

Rigby® PM Leveled Readers combine the precise leveling teachers trust with the characters students love to teach reading in a way that transforms every title into a learning moment. A balanced literacy approach allows students to build their confidence with challenges that meet them where they are

Leveled Readers allow teachers to match every student with meaningful texts and easy-to-spot leveling indicators including Rigby leveling, Fountas & Pinnell, and Lexile® to inspire confidence as students move from one skill level to the next.

Rigby helps teachers support learning across disciplines with cross-curricular texts that include poetry, fairy tales, fantasy, informational, and realistic fictional stories that move students from learning to read to reading to learn.
