Imagine Learning Launches Imagine+ Assessment, a Unified K–12 Suite for Screening, Diagnostics, and Formatives

New system helps educators and school districts meet early literacy mandates, streamline data use, and personalize instruction

Tempe, AZ — July 9, 2025 — 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.

About Imagine Learning
Imagine Learning creates K–12 learning solutions that support the boundless potential of students in more than half the districts nationwide. Empowered with data and insights from educators, we innovate to shape the future of education with a robust, digital-first portfolio of school services and core, courseware, and supplemental solutions.

Imagine Learning Introduces a Smarter Way to Bring AI into the Classroom

The first wave of Curriculum-Informed AI™ tools helps educators teach more effectively, plan with precision, and stay focused on student growth.

Tempe, AZ — May 5, 2025 — Imagine Learning, the nation’s largest provider of digital-first curriculum solutions, today announced the first release of its proprietary Curriculum-Informed AI tools — a new generation of capabilities strengthened by artificial intelligence to support key instructional needs of today’s K–12 classrooms, including lesson planning, math practice, professional learning, and communication.

Grounded in research-backed curriculum and aligned to academic standards, these tools mark a pivotal step in Imagine Learning’s vision for AI that supports educators, strengthens instructional practice, and advances student learning.

“This release reinforces our belief that curriculum should shape AI — not the other way around,” said Kinsey Rawe, EVP & Chief Product Officer at Imagine Learning. “When our research-backed pedagogy and instructional content inform the models, educators get outputs they can rely on.”

Unlike many AI tools that rely solely on training from generic data, Imagine Learning’s solutions integrate its own rigorously vetted curricula, providing outputs that are instructionally aligned, academically sound, and designed to meet the everyday demands of teaching.

Built from Curriculum, Ready for the Classroom

Four new Curriculum-Informed AI tools are currently in pilot with select districts and will expand in availability for the 2025–2026 school year. They include:

Lesson Plan Creator — Helps educators quickly create deeply personalized and standards-aligned lesson plans with objectives, instructional activities, scaffolds, and assessments — customized to the specific adopted Imagine Learning curriculum being used.
Curriculum Coach — An always-available coaching assistant that incorporates Imagine Learning’s Professional Development (PD) library to deliver curriculum-aligned strategies and real-time instructional support.
Math Practice Creator — Generates scaffolded math problems tied to grade-level standards, with built-in support for common misconceptions and model solutions.
Communication Drafter — Assists educators in drafting customized messages for families, students, or staff, with adjustable tone, translation, and formatting options.

“By weaving AI into the context of an instructional core, teachers get outputs they can trust to maintain the integrity of the curriculum,” said Jason Fournier, VP of AI Initiatives at Imagine Learning. “We’re excited to see how educators leverage these tools to meet students where they’re at, empower potential, and elevate what’s possible in the classroom.”

A Smarter Foundation for AI in Schools

Districts want AI that works with instruction, not around it. Curriculum-Informed AI is Imagine Learning’s approach to making that possible — built on its high-quality instructional materials (HQIM), aligned to standards, and developed to meet the real needs of today’s classrooms.

At its core, Curriculum-Informed AI is:

Grounded in Curriculum: Built from trusted, standards-aligned content.
Aligned to Instructional Goals: Supports district-defined outcomes, not generic outputs.
Built for Capacity: Frees educators to focus on higher-impact instruction, creativity, and connection.
Responsible by Design: Developed with transparency, accuracy, and student safety in mind.

These tools are designed to integrate AI into instruction in ways that align with district priorities and curriculum goals. Imagine Learning is working closely with pilot partners to ensure successful implementation and lasting impact.

Imagine Learning Foundation Announces 2025 Funding Cycle for Signature Grant Program

$600,000 to be awarded to initiatives that place a continued emphasis on chronic absenteeism and the student homelessness crisis; a portion of funding to be dedicated to students impacted by California wildfires

Tempe, Arizona — March 11, 2025 — Imagine Learning Foundation (ILF), the philanthropic initiative created by Imagine Learning, a leader in K–12 digital-first solutions used by 18 million students in over half of the school districts nationwide, has announced the opening of the 2025 funding cycle for its Imagine Signature Grant program. Now in its fourth year, ILF will award approximately $600,000 in Imagine Signature Grants to organizations dedicated to ILF’s mission of supporting learners outside the classroom.

Since its launch in 2021, ILF has awarded over $1.2 million through 30 grants as part of its initial $5 million funding commitment. The recipient organizations have positively impacted more than 413,000 students and youth in 1,700 communities across the U.S., addressing issues from homelessness to suicide prevention and mental health.

As part of the Imagine Signature Grant Program 2024 grant cycle, ILF initiated a funding priority to support national and regional organizations addressing or studying critical issues related to chronic absenteeism in K–12 learning environments. Chronic absenteeism, defined as missing 10% or more days of school per year, has severe consequences for learning, physical and mental health, stability, and future outcomes throughout a student’s life, particularly for children experiencing homelessness. During the 2022–2023 school year, over 27% of students nationwide were chronically absent, exacerbating a learning crisis, particularly in math and reading performance.

For its 2025 grantmaking cycle, ILF will continue this funding priority, especially in areas such as basic needs support; wraparound services for students, their families, and communities; and research to address chronic absenteeism and other aligned areas. ILF will also provide support to organizations addressing student housing insecurity, often a direct contributor to chronic absenteeism. More than 1.3 million students in the U.S. are currently experiencing homelessness, putting them at greater academic and graduation risks.

ILF is also dedicating a portion of its funding to projects and initiatives that directly support students and communities impacted by the California wildfires. Natural disasters often disrupt students’ education, stability, and overall well-being, exacerbating challenges for already vulnerable students. By expanding its 2025 funding priorities, ILF aims to provide critical support to those experiencing hardship due to these crises.

“We are proud to continue the commitment to funding programs that address chronic absenteeism and student homelessness,” said Jonathan Grayer, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Imagine Learning. “This year, we recognize the additional struggles faced by those affected by the devastating California wildfires and will dedicate funding to support students who have been displaced or whose education has been severely disrupted. Our goal remains the same — to support innovative solutions that create safe, stable, and nurturing environments for students to thrive beyond the classroom. My heart goes out to the communities living through this tragedy, and I have earmarked my personal contributions to ILF this year to support student well-being in areas that have been affected by the wildfires.”

“Through the generosity of Imagine Learning, the Imagine Learning Foundation has been able to support many great projects throughout the country,” said Chris Graham, Chairman and President of the Imagine Learning Foundation. “We look forward to continuing to support student well-being outside of the classroom in this upcoming grant cycle.”

Previous Imagine Signature Grant recipients include Up2Us Sports, Erika’s Lighthouse, WPSU (Penn State University Philanthropic Fund), Our Minds Matter, Genesys Works, Big Sky Youth Empowerment, Catie’s Closet, Giving the Basics, UpSpring, Our House, and SchoolHouse Connection/Attendance Works. Learn more about ILF’s grant recipients and its grant programs here.

The 2025 Imagine Signature Grant program is open for applications through April 9, 2025, with award winners notified in July 2025. The 2025 grant cycle timing is as follows:

Application Release – February 24, 2025
Application Deadline – April 9, 2025 (by 11:59 PM PT)
Award Notifications – June 2025
Grant Awards – July 2025

Aside from the Imagine Signature Grant Program, ILF administers its Grassroots Grant Program throughout each fiscal year, awarding smaller grants to organizations nominated by Imagine Learning employees. These grants support initiatives focused on student well-being outside the classroom such as kindness campaigns, anti-bullying efforts, child bedlessness, and before/after-school programs that enhance self-confidence, attendance, resilience, and academic performance.

About Imagine Learning Foundation

Imagine Learning Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering the well-being of learners and those who support them at home and in their communities. Established in 2021, the foundation provides funding to mission-aligned national non-profit organizations that focus on enhancing the well-being of youth, families, and educators, with an emphasis on accelerating student achievement. Imagine Learning Foundation is the philanthropic initiative of Imagine Learning, a leading creator of K–12 digital-first solutions, working alongside teachers to support 18 million students in over half of the districts nationwide.

A new white paper helps schools make future-ready learning real for students and educators.

Tempe, Arizona – March 4, 2025 – Districts and schools across the country are embracing the Portrait of a Graduate framework to redefine student success in the classroom and beyond.

“Educators need more than a vision — they need practical solutions that make that vision real,” said Sari Factor, Vice Chairman & Chief Strategy Officer for Imagine Learning. “Our high-quality instructional materials integrate deep learning strategies to help teachers build meaningful learning environments where students thrive.”

Why This Work Matters Now

The skills students need to succeed in the workforce are changing rapidly. As artificial intelligence and automation reshape industries, skills like analytical thinking, adaptability, and digital literacy have become essential for the future workforce (World Economic Forum, 2023). Yet, many schools struggle to align learning experiences with these evolving demands.

A strong Portrait of a Graduate framework defines the durable skills students need for success, but many districts lack the tools to integrate those competencies into daily learning.

“The Portrait of a Graduate isn’t just an aspirational framework—it’s a catalyst to spark transformation,” said Mike Duncan, President & CEO of Battelle for Kids. “But that change only happens when schools embed deeper learning into daily instruction.”

Key Strategies for Schools

The white paper provides actionable strategies for schools and districts, including:

Integrating future-ready skills into instruction: practical ways to align Portrait of a Graduate competencies with daily classroom learning.
The role of high-quality curriculum: how HQIM drives deeper learning, engagement, and skill development.
Lessons from district success stories: illustrations showing how schools are making future-ready learning a reality.

Future-ready learning is a shift in how schools prepare students for what’s next. With the right tools, districts can move beyond theory and create classrooms where deeper learning happens every day.

Imagine Learning Expands Literacy Assessment Portfolio with Acquisition of EarlyBird

Research-Backed Tool Enables Educators to Detect and Address Reading Challenges for Students in Grades PreK–3

November 13, 2024, Tempe, Arizona — Imagine Learning, the largest national provider of digital-first curriculum solutions, today announced the acquisition of the EarlyBird, a dyslexia screener and early literacy assessment for students in PreK–Grade 3. The EarlyBird game-based assessment enables the early identification of dyslexia and other reading challenges to give educators the data they need to intervene. This acquisition underscores Imagine Learning’s commitment to supporting the 18 million K–12 students and educators who rely on its products in over half of the school districts nationwide.

“We are excited to add the EarlyBird assessment to the Imagine Learning portfolio,” said Jonathan Grayer, Chairman and CEO of Imagine Learning. “With its ability to identify reading challenges like dyslexia at an early stage, EarlyBird equips educators to take action sooner. Paired with our intervention solutions, which empower teachers to deliver targeted, research-backed instruction, EarlyBird enhances our ability to support students’ literacy journeys from day one, fostering growth, confidence, and long-term success.”

Meeting the Critical Need for Early Literacy Screening

A 2021 report by the Institute of Education Sciences, encompassing over 20 years of research and 75,000 students, confirmed the effectiveness of early literacy interventions, showing that additional instruction significantly increases a student’s likelihood of becoming a successful reader. Early literacy screening is essential to identify students who need timely intervention to prevent long-term academic challenges. Developed and scientifically validated at Boston Children’s Hospital in partnership with faculty at the Florida Center for Reading Research, the EarlyBird assessment makes early literacy screening engaging, effective, and accessible for educators and students.

EarlyBird’s unique, child-friendly, game-based approach is aligned to the science of reading, assessing students on critical foundational skills including phonemic/phonological awareness, phonics, oral language comprehension, sound-symbol correspondence, and naming speed.

The assessment is computer adaptive to each child’s skill level as they progress through activities, providing precise insights into their strengths and areas needing support. The application provides a wealth of real-time data for educators, enabling early intervention with highly targeted strategies via an intuitive dashboard organized in alignment with the science of reading and divided into individual subtest skills as they pertain to the Simple View of Reading.

Integration with Imagine Learning

EarlyBird joins Imagine Learning’s Imagine+ Assessment portfolio, a comprehensive system delivering screening, diagnostics, standards benchmarking, and formative assessments. This portfolio empowers personalized learning and enables informed instructional decisions in conjunction with Imagine Learning’s English Language Arts solutions. “EarlyBird is a powerful addition to our robust literacy portfolio,” said Sarah Anderson, SVP of Product & Platform at Imagine Learning. “By uniting EarlyBird’s early literacy screening with our literacy intervention programs, including Imagine Language & Literacy, Imagine MyPath, and the recently enhanced Imagine Sonday System, a systematic, multisensory reading program based on the Orton-Gillingham approach, we’re providing educators with end-to-end solutions that enhance both assessment and targeted instruction. This integration enriches our assessment tools, allowing educators to personalize learning journeys and respond to students’ needs in real time with data-driven decisions.”
