OCPS · School-Wide CAPIT Reading Challenge
Race to Mount CAPIT
A weekly school-wide reading challenge. Classrooms climb Mount CAPIT by hitting CAPIT goals. Your school sets the targets, picks the wins, and celebrates the climb.
THE CLIMB SO FAR
Look how far OCPS climbed this year!
Consistent CAPIT practice moved the needle across the district. This is prevention, not intervention, and it is working.

HOW THE CLIMB WORKS
Simple, school-run, and built to celebrate
Principals sign up one time, and CAPIT includes every classroom in a weekly report. From there, your team runs the climb your way.
Climb
Classrooms complete CAPIT lessons and make progress toward their grade-level goals throughout the week.
Track
CAPIT sends a weekly Google Sheet leaderboard with each classroom's data. There is zero preparation on your end.
Celebrate
Your admin team reviews the data, moves the flags up the wall, and names the CAPIT Champion of the Week.
Flags move up the wall
Based on each class's average Days of Progress.
2 Days of Progress average: ↑ 1 space
3+ Days of Progress average: ↑ 2 spaces
