Teachers Love Us on Clever!

ReadWorks is proud to be featured as a New and Noteworthy application on the Clever Library! We only became a more accessible resource to educators through Clever a few months ago and we’re already feeling the love. You can now use our research-based learning supplements and expansive library with ease and single sign-on access. 

Through Clever, ReadWorks has garnered nearly 50,000 downloads from the 2022-2023 school year alone. ReadWorks seamlessly integrates with Clever, and our standout features have drawn in a dedicated community of Clever educators:

Filtering

• ReadWorks can be integrated into your daily ELA instruction by book, topic, decoding, vocabulary, and your core curriculum

Question Sets

• Text-based questions
• Multiple-choice and written answer questions
• Explicit and inferential questions that build a deeper understanding of the important elements of a text
• Filter for Full Question Sets, Express Question Sets, Open-Ended Question Sets, Inferring Question Sets, Monitoring Question Sets, and Text Structure Question Sets

Interactive Vocabulary Activities

• In collaboration with Wordsmyth, these activities allow students to explore sound-spelling connections, parts of speech and context, and word meanings through word families and networks
• Rate the Words: Before reading the passage, students rate their familiarity of the two to three key vocabulary words that will appear in the passage
• Word Builder: Students listen to each vocabulary word read aloud by clicking on the audio icon and then practice sound-spelling connections by clicking and dragging the syllables to build the words
• Word Changer: Students learn how vocabulary words vary in form when used in different sentences with this interactive fill-in-the-blank style activity
• ​Word Matcher: Students explore word families and networks by identifying synonyms and similar words for each vocabulary word

Research-based Learning

• ReadWorks applies science on how diverse learners move toward reading comprehension to all of our offerings, from our content and curricular supports to the digital tools and features of our website
• Visit our research page to learn how we use the science of reading to create the best solutions for your students

​Differentiation Tools

• Student Groups: Create different groups based on specific instructional goals and easily move students from group to group
• Audio: While all of ReadWorks texts have text-to-speech, many have human-voice audio as an option for students to hear a text read aloud by a fluent reader, which can be assigned by class, group, or individually
• ELL and Extra Support Features: Get directions for Article-A-Day the Reading Mindset Snapshot translated and read aloud by a fluent reader in the language you set (including English), and sentence frames in the Book of Knowledge

We look forward to continuing to support educators and students with Clever! Join the 50,000 teachers who have used ReadWorks on Clever today.
