Based on decades of leading literacy research
We partner with experts at the University of Oregon’s Center on Teaching and Learning—the creators of DIBELS (Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills)—to bring you the latest version of the widely used and proven DIBELS assessment on a powerful mobile platform. See more of our research.
Our approach
Quickly identify student needs and get targeted instruction with the only licensed digital version of the research-based DIBELS 8th Edition assessment.
Instant feedback and data analysis
mCLASS eliminates the manual assessment process and gives you instant results and clear next steps for each student.
Better data means better instruction
mCLASS lets you know exactly which aspect of a skill a student is struggling with, and then gives you effective lesson plans for each student powered by reliable diagnostic data based on one-minute measures.
Catch at-risk students early
Early intervention is critical. mCLASS offers universal and dyslexia screening in a single powerful tool—no additional assessment system required. Your most vulnerable readers are identified at the earliest levels.
