Michigan Literacy Progress Profile (MLPP) (with links to Macomb ISD MLPP site)
Introduction
The Michigan Literacy Progress Profile (MLPP) is a system of assessments and interventions to
guide the literacy development of all children to a successful fourth grade launch. The MLPP
contains a wide variety of research-based assessment tools and instructional strategies that
provide appropriate instructional experiences to scaffold a child’s literacy growth. The purpose
of these tools is to provide teacher and parent with information about what an individual child
knows and can do well as s/he moves along the path using literacy as a strategic thinker, reader
and writer. The single most important goal of the MLPP is to increase the child’s learning and
for that reason, the assessments are designed to be used to support instruction
The MLPP assessments are designed to provide information on milestone tasks to assure that
steady progress is sustained through the child’s literacy development.
