From Reading Practice to Reading Progress
Using Data to Support Literacy Development
Reading growth happens when educators can see, understand, and respond to student needs. While regular reading practice is essential, identifying trends, monitoring progress, and providing timely support can be challenging without the right tools and insights.
In this free 30-minute session, educators will explore how Microsoft Reading Progress can help make literacy development more visible and actionable. You’ll see how students can engage in independent reading practice while educators gain access to meaningful data that supports instructional decision-making, targeted interventions, and ongoing growth.

Whether you’re looking to strengthen literacy routines in your classroom or support broader school and district literacy initiatives, this session will highlight strategies that can be implemented in a variety of learning environments.
