ReadWorks has earned the Evidence-Based Edtech: ESSA Tier 3 product certification from Digital Promise. This product certification serves as a rigorous, reliable signal for district and school leaders, educators, and families looking for education technology (edtech) products with a confirmed basis in research about learning and evidence from a well-designed study that the product has positively impacted learners. ReadWorks submitted evidence to Digital Promise confirming a well-designed study that found a positive impact on students, evaluated at Tier 3 of the ESSA Tiers of Evidence. ReadWorks also demonstrated a link between research on how students learn and the product’s design and their commitment to making the research basis clear and accessible to the public. “At Digital Promise we are excited to support educational leaders in using evidence to inform their selection of edtech systems and tools,” said Dr. Pati Ruiz, Senior Director of Edtech and Emerging Technologies at Digital Promise. “The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) aligned product certifications will help educational leaders easily identify edtech products that leverage evidence-building activities to meet the needs of teachers, students, and their families." “We are deeply committed to ensuring that our reading comprehension resources, built on the science of reading, positively impact student reading growth. Through product certifications, consumers can narrow their options as they select products based on research about learning before trying it out in their classrooms. Digital Promise launched the Evidence-Based Edtech product certification in April 2024. Check out how districts are leveraging product certifications to inform edtech decisions.

 ReadWorks is excited to announce the launch of its Earth Day 2024 Illustration Contest. This is the first ReadWorks hosted contest that is geared toward younger students from second grade through fifth grade. This initiative aims to inspire young minds with articles written by ReadWorks' longtime content partner, The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF). NFWF is dedicated to sustaining, restoring, and enhancing the nation’s fish, wildlife, plants, and habitats for current and future generations. This year, NFWF turns 40 and has highlighted 40 species for 40 years to celebrate!
The Earth Day 2024 Illustration Contest provides a platform for students to showcase their artistic talents while also fostering a connection to NFWF’s fun and interesting passages about saving the monarch butterfly, coral reefs, or flying mammals. The contest invites students to reflect on their reading by creating original illustrations that depict their imaginative portrayals of wildlife conservation. The Earth Day 2024 Illustration Contest is completely free, and open to all second through fifth-grade students, regardless of their artistic background or skill level. Entries will be judged based on creativity, originality, and adherence to the theme and facts of the suggested NFWF reading passages. Bonus if you find time to do the ReadWorks vocabulary and question sets! To participate, any teacher, parent, or guardian is invited to submit artwork on a child’s behalf electronically through the ReadWorks website between April 1 and April 26, 2024.
