Read Theory

Read Theory is an online reading comprehension assessment tool for students. This tool gives students a variety of literary passages to read and then follows up the reading with comprehension questions. It is very easy to set up. Teachers create an account and then create their classroom by adding each student in as a user. Once set up, students can log in to their individual accounts and take the pretest which determines their reading level and the content they will be able to choose from when selecting their passages. Once their reading level has been determined they can begin choosing passages they want to read. Read Theory provides content for every culture and every country and there are thousands of passages, so students never have to read the same thing twice. When they have finished their reading, they will answer the comprehension questions that follow. If a student answers correctly, they earn points which they can see in their menu bar. All of the students progress is available for the students to see on their account which parents can access as well. Student's progress is also linked back to the teachers main account where he/she can track the progress of each individual student. This is helpful in assessing where a student may need more practice and where they are excelling. My favorite thing about this tool is that it is free to use for everyone and very easy to use. There are great reviews and many success stories linked to this tool and students really seem to enjoy using it. It is a great resource for teachers and student alike.
