Acadience Reading

As administrators and educators, you know that reading proficiency correlates with greater success in school and life. And that’s what Acadience Reading is all about: unlocking the potential in each student.

Acadience Reading Assessments

Backed by more than a decade of research, PELI offers an assessment solution to help educators gauge pre-literacy and oral language skills of 3–5 year old preschool students. PELI is formatted like a storybook so it feels like a shared reading activity. Use this powerful tool to help improve student outcomes before children enter kindergarten.

Acadience Reading K–6 helps educators monitor reading proficiency across a variety of educational settings. By detecting when students need extra support, Acadience enables teachers to prevent reading failure and improve student outcomes.

Acadience Reading 7–8, with assessment materials and final benchmark goals for 7th and 8th grade, will be officially released for the 2020-2021 school year.
