Grounded in the Science of Reading, My Reading Academy is an adaptive pre-K through 5th grade supplemental solution designed to create fluent, strategic English-language readers (the new My Reading Academy Español program is our Spanish literacy program designed to help accelerate Spanish reading fluency).
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, 100 data points are taken every 3–4 minutes to continually adjust each student path and pace towards skills proficiency.
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.
