What's new?
Feature Highlight: Manage Stories
Administrators will find a new, user-friendly interface on universalpar.com for story management. You'll have the option to preview texts and choose which stories to include or exclude from the protocol. For each grade level, you can exclude one Narrative and one Expository story that doesn't fit your criteria. This new feature ensures that the content your students access is always appropriate and beneficial.
Feature Highlight: New Recommendation Label
We've updated the "UDL" label to "Independent Reader; Accommodation May Enhance Comprehension." This change aims to more accurately describe students who read at grade level independently, but can benefit significantly from accommodations like text-to-speech, enhancing their comprehension of even more advanced materials.
Feature Highlight: Change Grade Level
In response to your feedback, we've also introduced a new feature for a common concern. Now, if a student mistakenly selects the incorrect grade level at the beginning of the protocol, they can easily correct it. This adjustment can be made before they start the protocol, ensuring that each student is working at their appropriate grade level from the get-go.
