Why Scholastic Reading Counts! Is Your BEST CHOICE

Provides a High Number of Quiz Items for Accurate Assessment
Quizzes are randomly generated from a bank of up to 30 items presenting hundreds of quiz variations. With more than one million questions for 38,000 books, students can expect a unique quiz-taking experience. This large database allows students to
retake a quiz with a fresh set of questions and reduce the chance of shared questions and answers. Educators get a clean view of student performance.

Matches Readers to Books Through the Lexile Framework®
The progress measurement tool in Scholastic Reading Counts! is the Lexile
Framework® for Reading, developed from more than 40 years of research by
the psychometrics of Metametrics, Inc. This system, an exclusive component of
Scholastic Reading Counts!, places both reader and text on the same scale,
so that educators know that students will read texts – successfully!

Supports Instructional Flexibility
Educators have the option to customize the number of questions on a quiz, the passing rate, the assigned reading level for individual students, groups of students, and the entire grade level. Reports on students’ progress help educators determine which modifications to implement.

Maintains High Levels of Student Motivation
Fun, age-appropriate, on-screen rewards and immediate student feedback make Scholastic Reading Counts!the first choice for students! Teachers can generate
student reports that show progress by criteria such as books read, words read, and other relevant standards. A personalized reading list based on students’ interests and
Lexile level provide reading suggestions on books that they will read and enjoy.
