Why Use the Student Library?
ReadWorks student library provides an important supplement to reading practice done in class. Students need to read a wide variety of texts independently to build their background knowledge and vocabulary—more than can be accounted for during instruction time alone. In the student library, there are never any questions or assessments—just reading for the joy of reading and learning. Also, when students are given a choice in this independent reading, research has shown that they often can read and comprehend higher level texts.
How to Use the Student Library
The student library is part of setting up a new class. Teachers can enable access to existing classes in Class Admin, letting students choose from 1000s of nonfiction and fiction reading passages in their own library. Students have access to all reading passages at their grade level as well as passages below their grade level and two grades higher. Each day, the library suggests new reading passages based on students' interests and passages they have enjoyed in the past. Teachers can see in Assignments & Progress how much their students have read and what they’ve enjoyed!

Differentiation in the Student Library
The student library is an automatically differentiated experience for students. The library suggests passages based on each student's individual interests and reading patterns. Students also have access to student tools, eBooks, and audio in their libraries.
