Reading Readiness: Early Literacy Screener and aimswebPlus Rostering for 2025-26

Starting in the 2025-26 school year, Pearson and Wisconsin DPI will utilize a flexible, hybrid approach to rostering for Act 20 screener assessments. Student data will be rostered on a nightly basis through the WISEdata API for all districts throughout the school year. LEAs may choose to also load course and staff/teacher data on a nightly basis through the WISEdata API. Or, they may use a third-party tool, such as Clever or ClassLink, to load course and staff/teacher data instead.

For the purpose of rostering students in particular, all LEAs need to do the following for 2025-26 before you plan to administer the screener to students in the fall:

1. Subscribe to your SIS vendor in the Ed-Fi Credential application for the 2025-26 school year.
2. Work with your SIS vendor and/or district technology coordinator to add the Ed-Fi Credential key/secret to your SIS vendor configuration screens. In addition, annual configuration set up in your SIS may also be required to remap code sets and enable sending data to WISEdata.
3. Log into the WISEdata Portal and ensure data is flowing for the 2025-26 year.
4. Ensure that students and student demographics are synced with WISEdata.
   • If you will be using WISEdata for staff and classes, also ensure that roster data is synced with WISEdata and flowing for 2025-26; otherwise contact Pearson to choose another third-party vendor to sync staff and class information.
   • If you have purchased Pearson for grade levels other than 4K-3, contact Pearson to set up rostering for those grade levels.
5. Ensure that students appear in aimswebPlus.

If you need assistance with the Ed-Fi Credential application, submit WISE Help Ticket. If you need assistance in configuring your SIS, please contact your vendor.

If you need assistance with step five regarding aimswebPlus or to set up a third-party vendor, contact Pearson at aimswebsupport@pearson.com or +1 (866) 313-6194 and select option two from the phone menu. You can also consult the Pearson 2025-26 Rostering Guide for more information.
