When it comes to supporting struggling readers, schools often invest in costly tutoring programs or complex intervention frameworks. But what if there was a flexible, cost-effective tool that could provide individualized reading support for every student—during the school day or beyond? Enter ReadTheory.
Why ReadTheory Works for Tutoring and Intervention
ReadTheory is an adaptive, online reading platform designed to meet students where they are. Whether a student reads below, at, or above grade level, the program delivers personalized reading comprehension passages and quizzes that adjust in real time. This makes it an ideal fit for:
- Tier 1 classroom support
- Tier 2 or 3 intervention settings
- Before/after school tutoring
- Summer bridge programs
- Independent practice for remote learners
Key Benefits for Schools
✅ Data-Driven Growth:
ReadTheory automatically tracks student Lexile levels, quiz scores, and growth over time—no extra grading or data entry required. Teachers and administrators get instant insights into who needs support and where.
✅ Time-Saving & Flexible:
Teachers can work with students directly or let them practice independently—ReadTheory fits both approaches. Whether used one-on-one, in small groups, or at home, it’s a flexible tool that seamlessly supports any school’s MTSS or RTI framework.
✅ Cost-Effective:
With free access for teachers and a premium option for schools, ReadTheory offers significant savings compared to traditional tutoring or paid intervention programs—without sacrificing quality.
✅ Engagement That Scales:
Gamified elements like Knowledge Points and customizable goals keep students motivated, while teachers can set weekly or monthly targets to encourage accountability.
