80 PASSAGES, EASY TO CHALLENGING

• 34 fiction stories, 34 nonfiction articles, and 12 paired-text readings
• Written for fifth grade, from short, approachable readings to full test-length passages
• Topics range from volcanoes and honeybees to the Brooklyn Bridge, the Code Talkers, and a robot who wanted rain
• Every passage has its own illustrated cover

640 QUESTIONS WITH EXPLANATIONS

• Multiple choice, choose-two, Part A/Part B, and find-the-evidence questions where students tap the sentence that supports their answer
• Every answer includes a clear explanation
• After an incorrect answer, students get a second try and the relevant paragraph is highlighted
• Eleven reading skills are tracked separately, including main idea, inference, vocabulary, author’s purpose, text structure, and point of view
• Answer choices are shuffled so students learn the ideas instead of memorizing letters

ENGLISH AND SPANISH

Tap ES to switch the passage, questions, and dictionary to Spanish. The menus remain in English because the app is designed to build English reading skills. Spanish support lets parents follow the reading and help their child understand the text.

BUILT FOR READING, NOT FOR SPEED

• Read-aloud narration highlights each word as it is spoken and includes adjustable speed
• Tap an underlined word for a child-friendly definition, then save it for later
• Practice saved vocabulary without a timer
• Use the highlighter, a dyslexia-friendly font, page colors, and adjustable line spacing
• Nothing is timed, and students are never ranked against other children

PROGRESS THAT MAKES SENSE

• Set a daily reading goal and build a reading streak
• See which reading skills are strong and which need more practice
• Use the Try Again list to revisit only the questions that were missed
• Collect 32 badges for completing passages, saving words, and maintaining a streak

FOR GROWN-UPS

Parent Zone is protected by a simple grown-ups-only question. Parents can adjust the daily goal, review progress, and reset app data when needed.
