“ mCLASS is a tool that is used to progress monitor my students’ reading, and so the data collected from the assessments done are used to plan my small-group activities and also helps to decide who needs a double dose and in what specific areas. Using my students’ performances, mCLASS makes recommendations for the most needed component when doing progress monitoring, which helps to strengthen the students’ performance in these areas. ”
