Raz-Plus now uses the Reading Growth Assessment (RGA) to support student reading placement.
The Reading Growth Assessment is a research-based assessment that provides insight into a student's overall reading ability. It helps determine which texts are an appropriate fit for independent reading within the Reading Power Zone.
RGA replaces the previous Placement Tool and provides a more reliable way to measure student reading ability and support reading placement.
What is the Reading Growth Assessment?
The Reading Growth Assessment (RGA) measures a student's reading ability and provides information that can be used to support reading placement.
RGA was developed in partnership with MetaMetrics® and is aligned with the Lexile® Framework for Reading.
The Lexile Framework places readers and texts on the same scale. This helps educators connect students with appropriately challenging texts and monitor reading growth over time.
