Scholastic, a publishing, education and media company, completed the acquisition of Learning Ovations, a literacy screening, progress monitoring assessment and instructional planning system provider. Financial terms were not disclosed. "Carol Connor was a teachers' teacher, dedicated both to helping every child learn to read – regardless of background, disadvantage or learning challenge – and to supporting teachers with tools that are both deeply rigorous and easy to use. We are committed to those same values of equity, engagement and effectiveness at Scholastic. We feel privileged to continue Carol's work and welcome the mission-aligned Learning Ovations team of researchers, practitioners and technologists to Scholastic, as we continue to advance our mission to help kids learn to read, read to learn, and discover the joy in reading," Rose Else-Mitchell, Scholastic Executive Vice President and President.
