📋 Hear TellMes right from ListenIn

Educators can now listen to a student’s TellMe right from the ListenIn page of a story. This tool enables you to quickly listen to their thinking and understanding without having to return to the student’s activity page.

👨‍👧 Add existing students to groups

Groups are a fantastic tool for differentiated reading instruction. Now there’s a simpler way to add or move students between groups if their reading levels change or you’re ready to switch up literature circles! Click on Add Students, and check out the new option to add existing students!

Add existing students to groups easily.

🗺 New simplified student Journey

We’ve updated the student Journey to reflect student reading, and to keep them moving forward in their reading progress! No more, no less.
