At ReadWorks, we believe that knowledge is a right! Every child deserves access to high-quality reading materials that build background knowledge, strengthen vocabulary, and ignite curiosity — no matter where they live or what resources their school may have.
That’s why all of our online reading passages and resources are completely free! Closing the Knowledge Gap Research shows that background knowledge and vocabulary are critical to reading comprehension — yet too many students, especially those in under-resourced communities, lack access to the kind of content-rich materials that support their learning. As a nonprofit, we're committed to closing that gap by making expertly curated, engaging reading passages accessible to all. We are particularly focused on reaching the 21,000+ schools that have an enrollment of 75% or more students who qualify for free and reduced lunch. Sometimes referred to as Title I schools. Learn more about our free online reading passages. Supporting Every Teacher, Every Classroom Teachers are the heart of education — but they shouldn’t have to spend valuable time searching for affordable, high-quality materials. Our library of over 6,000 free online reading passages spans a range of topics, grade levels, and languages, offering the tools to differentiate instruction and engage every student. We also support the professional development of teachers for free. Learn more about our free customized professional development and view our library of live or on-demand webinars. Research-Proven Every ReadWorks resource is backed by the latest research in the science of reading and written with care by experts. By offering our resources for free, we’re breaking down barriers to knowledge building that works. In just nine weeks a class of 4th graders improved knowledge by 11% after their teacher implemented the ReadWorks Article-A-Day routine. See the research brief. Our mission is powered by the belief that knowledge belongs to everyone. If you believe in the power of reading to transform lives, we invite you to explore our resources, share them with your community, and help us spread the word. Thank you to all of our donors and supporters for keeping ReadWorks free of charge!  ReadWorks ReadWards

"Before launching to all of our educators, ReadWorks pilots every new product with teachers in the classroom. We build our products on the most current educational research, and then through these pilots, we refine to best support the realities of the classroom. Thank you to all of our partner teachers who help us always improve!" Written by:Melissa Calder, Director of Marketing and Engagement, ReadWorks
