Progress

• 3 levels on each report card
• Most students will move through 2 levels
• If the child is at a level that is not printed,

The continuums allow teachers to see students
in terms of possibilities and progress, rather
than through a deficit lens. Every child is
somewhere on the literacy journey, and every
child has potential to move forward. -Carol
