My Reading Academy Español (MRAE) is a personalized learning program that supports early literacy development in Spanish for bilingual and native Spanish-speaking learners. It adapts to students' needs in real time and was designed with cultural and linguistic authenticity at its core.
How Placement Works
At login, students complete a short series of activities to determine their initial starting point. This placement process is powered by our Knowledge Mapping Mode, which quickly and accurately places each student across literacy domains such as phonological awareness, decoding, vocabulary, and comprehension.
Personalized and Responsive
The program continuously adjusts content and support based on how students are performing. Whether they are native Spanish speakers or learning Spanish as part of a dual language program, every student receives a custom path.
Don’t Worry if It Feels “Off” at First
Some early mismatch is normal—MRAE quickly adapts. The system makes in-the-moment decisions that adjust what students see and how they receive help.
Why There Are No “Levels”
Students don’t advance through a rigid sequence. MRAE meets them where they are and helps them build from there. Instruction adapts based on real-time data, not preset benchmarks.
Encourage Students to Complete All Activities
To get the best results from My Reading Academy Español, it’s important for students to complete every activity—even ones that feel too hard or ones that they think they've played before.
Sometimes, students may be given activities that are beyond their current skill level. When this happens, they might choose to cancel out of the activity rather than try it. But skipping the activity means the program doesn’t get the information it needs to adjust. Without that signal, the same kind of activity may keep showing up.
The same is sometimes true when a student sees what looks like an activity they've already completed and so they cancel it without playing. In this case, the system is presenting another version of the activity to make sure they have mastered it or to test them at I higher level of the activity. Cancelling rather than playing will typically mean the student continues to see the activity over and over.
That’s why it’s important to encourage students to play through all assigned activities, even if they don’t know the answer or get things wrong, and even if it looks like an activity they've already played. Struggling with a skill provides a valuable signal to the system, as does confirming mastery of the activity at a higher level. The program uses this signal to adjust the difficulty and guide the student to the right level.
