WordFlight
identifies and attacks gaps in basic reading skills to help your students become fluent readers.
Attacking the Missing Link –
the bridge between phonics and fluency
WordFlight is an online literacy solution designed to attack gaps in foundational knowledge and skills in a way that directly targets the development of automatic word recognition – a key precursor to fluency. Automatic word recognition is the missing link that bridges phonics and fluency. WordFlight is the only valid measure of automatic word recognition and the only curriculum designed to tackle this key component of fluency.
WordFlight’s combination of screening, assessment, and instruction uniquely addresses development of decoding knowledge, automatic word recognition, and the generalization of skills. WordFlight is designed for students in grade 2 and above and has been proven effective for persistently struggling readers, special needs students, English language learners, and students who learn differently.
WordFlight is the only literacy solution using current learning science to address this missing link in foundational skills.

WordFlight Diagnostic
Uncover why your students are struggling to read through an in-depth assessment that reveals new insights about their foundational knowledge and skills
The WordFlight Diagnostic analyzes students’ decoding knowledge and whether they can automatically and flexibly use what they know across many contexts. These skills are imperative to becoming a fluent reader for comprehension.
The individual student profile generated by the WordFlight Diagnostic identifies deficits in decoding skills with a specificity not seen in other assessments. Furthermore, the WordFlight Diagnostic is the first and only operationalized and validated measurement tool for automatic word recognition, an essential precursor to fluency and comprehension. Learn more about the WordFlight Diagnostic validation.
Specifically, the WordFlight Diagnostic will tell you:
Students typically complete the WordFlight Diagnostic in three 20-minute sessions. The results can be used to identify those students who are proficient or at risk in these essential skills. A detailed report provides a profile for each student, which can be used to pinpoint deficits in specific areas and aid in the selection of targeted interventions for individuals or groups of students.
The WordFlight Diagnostic is administered up to three times per year as part of the WordFlight Instructional Program. The WordFlight Diagnostic is also available as a standalone assessment.
