Case Study: William Hart Unified School District improves special education progress monitoring with ReadTheory

William Hart Unified School District - Customer Case Study

William Hart Unified School District educator William Barnwell faced the challenge of tracking weekly progress for his special education English students, as required by their IEPs. His students viewed reading as a chore, and he needed a better way to monitor their fluency, comprehension, and grade levels while also providing appropriate materials for at-home work.

The solution was ReadTheory, which provided engaging passages and real-time progress monitoring. Students became motivated by tracking their own growth in personal booklets, fostering a sense of responsibility. ReadTheory’s data was used to adjust student plans and was integrated into progress reports and IEP meetings, with one teacher noting it was a tool through which students were able to see their own growth and build self-esteem.
