An award-winning EdTech nonprofit with a mission, ReadWorks is a free, accessible solution for improving reading comprehension. Since our founding, 56 million people have used the ReadWorks platform. Teachers trust ReadWorks for the original, substantial, and inspirational selection of text choices within our library. Many organizations seek to address building background knowledge and growing vocabularies, but ReadWorks stands out in four key ways: (1) our research-based digital tools, features, and content; (2) our superb educator guidance; (3) our national reach; and (4) our mission as a nonprofit providing resources for free. Each school year, ReadWorks is used by nearly 1 million educators and over 11.5 million students, including those in 93% of the highest-poverty K-8 schools—the population we are most focused on based on our mission. We are committed to providing the highest standard of quality resources to help address the student achievement gap, particularly regarding reading comprehension. The ReadWorks library offers over 6,000 texts on a diverse range of subjects to be used in any K-adult learner classroom, small group, or one-on-one intervention. It is also designed to complement any and every curriculum. Our content team completes rigorous fact-checking and sensitivity reviews and works with world-renowned institutions to create original and long-lasting passages. ReadWorks offers a world of content developed with partners such as the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, the International Quilt Museum, the American Museum of Natural History, the New-York Historical Society, and more. Along with our world-class texts, we have developed award-winning digital tools to help ensure each student receives individualized reading comprehension instruction based on their needs. Each tool is thoughtfully designed based on student and teacher feedback and research studies.
