Utah Focus Skills – Roadmap for Student Growth

Focus Skills are—simply put—the building blocks of student learning. Based on extensive research into how learning progresses in reading and math, Focus Skills represent the most critical skills at each grade level. Knowledge of them can provide a roadmap for closing learning gaps as you move every student toward greater mastery.

Some Focus Skills have also been identified as Trip Steps. This means that these skills are not only critical for learning at grade level—like all Focus Skills—but they are also especially challenging for students to master. Renaissance has identified Trip Steps for Reading and Math.
