Recommendation
Recommended Limited
Evaluation
This program targets a lot of aspects of literacy that are critical for student understanding. That being said, it doesn't feel like this program would be critical to students gaining these skills. It feels a lot more like an assessment than a teaching program, which is why I'm recommending that it would be a limited use because teachers would teach and then use it to assess students' knowledge.
