Grounded in the Science of Reading, My Reading Academy is an adaptive pre-K through 2nd grade supplemental solution designed to create fluent, strategic English-language readers. A companion Spanish literacy program, My Reading Academy Español, is designed to help accelerate fluency in Spanish reading.
Powered by an evidence-based Knowledge Map and patented technology, every student receives a personalized path to becoming a fluent, confident, and strategic reader. Its in-game, adaptive placement activities quickly identify a student’s current skill level, launching a unique Learning Pathway. As students engage with the program, it dynamically adjusts their path within, after, and across learning activities. This multi-layered personalization, happening throughout each session, provides dynamic scaffolding and feedback to drive efficient, durable growth in standards mastery.
My Reading Academy's immersive games offer structured practice and dynamic scaffolding, leading to automaticity in phonological awareness and phonics, and the program’s rich interactive reading experiences strengthen standards-based skills in vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension.
Dynamic Dashboards in our Educator Center empower teachers to take immediate action to support each student’s progress toward mastery, leveraging our recommendations for teacher-directed differentiated support. Educators can easily monitor program usage (with a 45-minute weekly goal) and student growth at the district, school, and classroom level, and evaluate and communicate progress against standards and benchmarks.
New for Back-to-School 2025
Our “Best in Class” pre-K through 2nd grade curriculum is now even more comprehensive for the new school year. Our latest enhancements to My Reading Academy focused on eliminating gaps in standards, so the program now delivers a more comprehensive experience all grades.
New My Reading Academy activities cover a variety of topics, including phonological awareness, decodable texts, phoneme segmenting, comprehension, text structure, fluency, language, and vocabulary.
MLL Support is an essential feature we are integrating into My Reading Academy. It is meant to enhance accessibility and learning outcomes for students whose first language is not English. Our first wave of languages was guided by national data for the top languages spoken at home by English Learners. The program now offers:
- Closed captions in English for MRA
- Vocabulary and Instructional supports for MRA in Spanish, Vietnamese, Mandarin and Arabic
- All supports aid in accessibility efforts
