New system helps educators and school districts meet early literacy mandates, streamline data use, and personalize instruction
Imagine Learning, a leading provider of digital-first PreK–12 solutions, today announced the launch of Imagine+ Assessment, a comprehensive K–12 assessment suite that combines screening, diagnostic, and formative tools in one cohesive system. Built to address rising demands for early identification of learning delays and impediments, real-time instructional support, and reduced over-testing, the suite enables educators to act on data without disrupting learning.
The Imagine+ Assessment suite includes:
- Imagine+ Screener (PreK–3) – A game-powered tool that identifies students at risk for dyslexia and reading challenges in under 20 minutes
- Imagine+ Diagnostic (K–12) – A computer-adaptive assessment measuring student growth and instructional readiness in English language arts (ELA) and math
- Imagine+ Formatives (K–8) – A library of nearly 1,000 brief, standards-aligned assessments for ongoing evaluation of student learning
“Educators aren’t asking for more assessments—they’re asking for better outcomes,” said Kinsey Rawe, Executive Vice President & Chief Product Officer at Imagine Learning. “Imagine+ Assessment gives them the timely, relevant data they need from a single system built for instruction, not just evaluation.”
The need is urgent. In 2024, 40 percent of fourth-grade students scored below the Basic level in reading—the highest percentage of struggling readers in more than 30 years, according to the National Assessment of Educational Progress. Districts face mounting pressure to identify gaps early and intervene before students fall further behind.
Assessment Designed for Classroom Realities
Imagine+ Assessment integrates directly with Imagine Learning instructional solutions such as Imagine Language & Literacy® and Imagine MyPath®, enabling personalized learning pathways from assessment results. It also complements a district’s existing assessment tools, allowing educators to strategically fill gaps and provide students with personalized support without overhauling their current infrastructure.
The suite’s robust data reporting supports decision-making at individual student, classroom, school, and district levels, and student diagnostics, classroom trends, and systemwide progress are all visible through one platform. Lexile® and Quantile® measures are included.
Meeting Pressing Needs Without Adding Burden
Imagine+ Assessment addresses several of today’s most critical instructional challenges:
- Early Identification – Supports dyslexia mandates and MTSS frameworks by identifying reading risks before third grade
- Instructional Efficiency – Reduces prep and grading time with built-in scoring, real-time dashboards, and intuitive, easy-to-interpret reports
- Strategic Alignment – Helps unify fragmented assessment efforts under one cohesive platform
- Equitable Personalization – Links insights to just-in-time instruction for students with diverse learning needs
The suite is now available nationwide and can be implemented independently or as part of a broader Imagine Learning solution.
