Arizona Approved Move On When Reading (MOWR) Intervention and Supplemental Curriculum

Edmentum Exact Path, our K-12 assessment-driven, individualized instruction program, has been approved by the Arizona Department of Education as a K–3 Move On When Reading (MOWR) Intervention Curriculum for tiers 1–3 and as a MOWR Supplemental Program. These dual approvals give Arizona schools flexibility to use Exact Path for both teacher-led reading intervention and student-driven skill practice that supports core instruction.

What assessment list is Exact Path approved for?

Exact Path appears on the Arizona Department of Education’s Move On When Reading (MOWR) Approved Programs List as both an Intervention Curriculum and a Supplemental Program. These ADE-vetted, evidence-based reading solutions are designed to help K–3 students build foundational literacy skills—whether through teacher-led intervention for students needing targeted support or independent practice that reinforces Tier 1 instruction. Each year, Arizona districts and charter schools include their chosen intervention and/or supplemental reading programs in their MOWR Literacy Plans.

What this means for Arizona educators

Implementing Exact Path immediately establishes a proven, assessment-driven reading solution aligned to the Science of Reading, with universal screening, personalized systematic reading instruction, and supplemental teaching resources.
