Choose a reading grade

Choose the text that fits the reader

Grade labels are a starting point for browsing. Open a passage preview and consider the vocabulary, length, and topic before deciding whether it fits your reader today. A student can benefit from exploring a different grade collection when a text feels too easy or too frustrating.

The first-grade collection includes separately labeled tracks where available. Keep the track label in mind when comparing passages with similar titles.

Use a passage for practice or a reading check-in

For practice, choose a short section to reread and discuss. For a timed first reading, keep instructions consistent and note whether the reader has seen the text before. Rate, accuracy, and understanding answer different questions about a reading.

Use the manual reading-speed calculator for a reading you have timed, or learn about the recorded reading fluency assessment.

Previews and reading access

You can browse titles and limited previews without signing in. Full passages and reading tools require an account with eligible program access. Recording requires the applicable adult authorization.
