You will also see a proficiency breakdown for a variety of reading skills and your state's standards.

You can check the fraction ("10/11 correct") to see how many of each question type you have answered on your article quizzes so far.
Tip: Use the data range in the upper right corner of the report to zero in on times when you were working at your individual reading level (during Lift Off) or at grade level (when you were assigned a grade-level article with the rest of your class).
Tip: Gauge growth by comparing scores from the first few months of school to the last few months of school, taking into account if you were working on articles at your independent reading level or at grade level.
