Tiered and Grade Level Reading Materials 

K-12 StepReads - Teachers assign these in addition to the original text so that students can first dive into the StepRead  and then challenge themselves to read the more complex version when ready. 

Boost and Challenge Articles - Teachers can print or assign boost and/or challenge articles as part of an Article-A-Day™ topical set to the whole class, small groups, or individual students.

​“I use ReadWorks almost every day in my classroom!  I just love the Article-A-Day sets.” 

​-Phyllis H., 5th-grade Teacher, Philadelphia

ReadWorks is Proven
