A 2nd grade teacher using HMH Into Reading finds that module assessments do not align with daily instruction, causing student scores to drop despite demonstrating skills in class.
The HMH curriculum's assessments are lengthy and format-different from instruction, making it hard for young students to demonstrate skills; there is no built-in way to generate practice assessments aligned to both instruction and assessment format, or to build student stamina.
Workarounds Described
- Creates own review packets/study guides manually
- Searches for games, task cards, centers, worksheets from various sources to supplement
- Practices reading passages and answering comprehension questions together in class
Implied Software Gaps
- Tool to automatically generate HMH-formatted practice questions and study guides
- A library of ready-made supplemental resources aligned to HMH modules
- A platform to administer scaffolded practice assessments and track student stamina
