In an age of increasing pressure on schools and teachers, testing not only needs to be reliable and aligned with standards like No Child Left Behind (NCLB), Reading First, and IDEA, but must also be practical for teachers to use in the classroom. Testing has become so cumbersome that it can get in the way of teaching.

Versant for schools can help you test oral reading fluency or spoken English language skills quickly and objectively by telephone or computer. Our automated system makes testing much more efficient, giving educators more time to teach. It also provides a more cost-effective option to schools and districts who must manage education spending.
