Powered by cutting-edge technology, it uses this rich data to generate personalized instructional recommendations—empowering teachers to place every learner on a unique path to growth.
Demystifying Performance Data
Today’s classrooms generate a wealth of information from online learning, practice, and assessments. The McGraw Hill Plus Standards and Skills Graph distills that rich, varied data into a comprehensive view of each student’s knowledge that refreshes nightly.
Student proficiency is tracked and mapped to state standards and corresponding skills, so teachers can quickly understand who needs help with what.
Instead of checking disparate reports and spreadsheets, teachers follow a holistic knowledge map to pinpoint precisely what students need.
Matching Teachers and Students to Game-Changing Resources
Data can paint a vivid picture—but today’s busy teachers need actionable insights. McGraw Hill Plus™ for PreK–12 Insights and Recommendations provide enrichment and intervention resources for individual students and groups based on their proficiency in a standard or the specific skills needed to master it.
In just a few clicks, teachers can access ready-made groups differentiated by need and generate appropriate assignments for each. With resources available for both teacher-led mini lessons and independent re-teach or practice, McGraw Hill Plus™ for PreK–12 connects the whole classroom to the right resources at the right moment.

Pedagogy & Adaptive Learning Pathways
Our program supports differentiated pathways based on Lexile levels and cognitive depth, ensuring that students engage with content suitable for their reading level and cognitive development. Each student’s skill level is matched to color-coded, leveled reading selections.
The design of the program is simple: each student’s skill level is matched to a color-coded, leveled reading selection. The reading levels gradually increase in complexity, and selections gradually increase in word count to keep students challenged as they progress through the program.
Instead of having to manual track and change levels, the system now adapts to the students’ performance automatically to keep them appropriately challenged and motivated.
Progress Tracking and Adjustment
Reading Laboratory Online (Global) continuously tracks students' progress as it automatically adjusts their color level and track based on their performance. Students do not have to work through all the Power Builders in a level but the program will be able to identify when the student is ready for a new color level based on the data collected.
This is because throughout the students’ experience, multiple data points are captured to enable teachers to monitor student progress. This includes time spent, specific skills practiced, and more, allowing educators to make informed instructional decisions. Students also receive reports to visualize their reading progress.
Engagement & Reinforcement during Learning
Reading Laboratory Online (Global) offers a captivating digital reading experience with animated graphics, audio narration, and an upcoming translation feature for English Language learners. This immersive experience motivates students to enjoy and keeps them engage while reading the Power Builders.
In addition, students can work on Skill and Rate Builders to strengthen specific reading and fluency skills. The program intelligently identifies skill gaps and recommends relevant Skill Builders, empowering students to improve without additional intervention.
