What is Scholastic Literacy Pro?
Assess, motivate and measure reading progress. Scholastic Literacy Pro (formerly known as Scholastic Reading Pro) combines assessment and reading motivation to raise reading standards at pupil, class and whole school level.
Bringing together carefully levelled children’s books with a computer-adaptive test to measure a child’s reading level, Scholastic Literacy Pro engages young readers with personalised book recommendations and thousands of quizzes to monitor and assess independent reading.
Using the Lexile® framework to measure both readers and texts on the same scale, Scholastic Literacy Pro is uniquely able to recommend the right book for the right pupil at the right time.
Recommended Usage
For teachers we recommend accessing Reading Pro every two weeks for aproximately 15-minutes to review students' progress and help inform teaching.
For students we recommend accessing Reading Pro three to four times per year to take a reading (Lexile) test and then each time they complete a book to take a book quiz.

I have already recommended the tool to many colleagues in other schools.
Alice Fisher found Scholastic Reading Pro:
- Significantly reduces teacher workload“Reading Pro allows us to make informed recommendations for children in terms of selecting texts from the library; it measures their progress in a way which is easily monitored without any teacher marking.”
- Significantly provides school data“We have been able to better assess the reading levels of our pupils and to keep track of how their reading for pleasure impacts their overall achievement levels.”
- Significantly improves teaching efficiency“Teachers understand their pupils attainment better and can tailor text selection accordingly.”
- Moderately improves attainment“Whilst we have only begun to use the program this academic year, we have noticed it has motivated some of the more reluctant readers to read independently already.”
- Significantly builds student knowledge“The books which are recommended are diverse and feature non-fiction as well as fiction titles.”
