Reading and Writing

Support literacy development with interactive tools for reading fluency, comprehension, writing accuracy, and revision. These resources are designed to help English learners practice essential reading and writing skills while giving teachers useful information for differentiation, intervention, and progress monitoring.

Timed Reader

Timed Reader provides leveled reading-fluency and comprehension practice for middle-school English learners. Students choose from five proficiency levels and complete a randomly selected passage followed by comprehension questions. Built-in text-to-speech, adjustable reading speeds, immediate feedback, and completion-time tracking support differentiated practice and repeated progress checks.

Student results can also be recorded for teacher review, making the activity useful for monitoring both comprehension and reading efficiency.

Best for: Reading fluency, comprehension, differentiated practice, learning stations, intervention, and progress monitoring.

Writing Accuracy Checker

The Writing Accuracy Checker helps students and teachers identify common language issues in student writing without automatically assigning a grade. The tool reviews writing for patterns involving grammar, mechanics, spelling, sentence construction, word choice, and other common areas of difficulty for English learners.

Teachers can connect writing practice to curriculum grammar targets and vocabulary while students receive focused information they can use during revision. Writing statistics and issue summaries also provide teachers with useful information for conferences and formative assessment.

Best for: Writing practice, revision, grammar reinforcement, formative assessment, student conferences, and progress monitoring.

Building Stronger Readers and Writers

These tools support two connected parts of language development. Timed Reader helps students build comprehension and reading fluency, while the Writing Accuracy Checker encourages students to examine and improve their own written English. Together, they provide flexible tools for targeted literacy instruction, independent practice, and ongoing assessment.
