Grade-Level Expectations for Instructional Reading Level Follow
The table below describes how your students' instructional levels are color coded on the teacher dashboard. A printable copy of this table can be downloaded at the bottom of this article.
- As a default, PreK students and students in grades 9-12 will not have their instructional levels color coded.
- Districts have the option of customizing this table with thresholds that align with their local needs, including for students in PreK and grades 9-12. For more information, please contact support@literably.com.
Key
The colors for instructional level correspond to these performance descriptors:
| Exceeds Expectations (4) |
| Meets Expectations (3) |
| Approaches Expectations (2) |
| Does Not Meet Expectations (1) |
Please note: when applying the below colors to a student's instructional level, Literably uses the date of the student's last assessment, not the current date, as the reference point for the below table.
