What research supports Literably's use?

Literably is a literacy assessment for grades K-8 designed to inform instruction, screen students for reading difficulties, identify students’ reading levels, and monitor students’ response to intervention. The data needed to do this are generated by a student reading a short passage out loud into a device and answering several comprehension questions.

In this technical manual, we provide educators and administrators with information that helps them decide whether to use Literably, and, for Literably’s users, how to use Literably appropriately. We report technical findings supporting the adequacy of Literably for universal screening, as well as background information about the design of the assessment and the research that guided its construction.
