A dynamic way to boost reading skills and build background knowledge across the curriculum

WHAT IS READ TO KNOW?

Read to Know is a weekly online news magazine for schools. The Read to Know program engages and challenges students with fascinating non fiction stories that change every week. Studdnts read these stories online, then take a comprehension quiz and answer inferential questions after each story.

"It's great for building background knowledge and literacy skills. The materials provide differentiated learning and are accessible to all my students — mainstream, ELL, special ed, and struggling readers."

— Carol Renca
Edmunds Middle School, Burlington, VT
