Avid Reading For Success
in School and Life.
The texts students encounter once they graduate, like leases or tax forms, are often at a surprisingly high Lexile® level. Starting in kindergarten, moving students through increasingly complex texts becomes more effective when they have a variety of engaging books at their levels and interests to choose from.
Research shows that the best readers read the most and the poorest readers read the least.
That’s why Scholastic has created Ibrary. We work directly with districts to create custom, data-driven libraries for every classroom, personalizing the selection of books to the specific needs of every student.
It's not a one-size-fits all approach.
It's a one-size-fits each student approach.
We tailor reading choices to each classroom by considering multiple factors
and datapoints to create a diverse, high-interest library.
Ibrary is:
- A data-driven, carefully curated library of independent reading texts
- Scholastic's best, high-interest books across multiple genres and text types
- A personalized reading tracking and trajectory for every student
Ibrary is customized based on:
- Lexile®, Guided Reading, or DRA Level
- Existing inventory and curriculum framework
- Student population and curriculum gaps
How Ibrary Works.
Ibrary includes Scholastic services to create libraries tailored to your district. We are with you every step of the way.
Here's how it works:
Assess
The first step is assessing every student to identify their specific needs. Using student Lexile®, DRA, or Guided Reading leveling information, we analyze the data and the unique needs of your district to curate dynamic classroom libraries.
Evaluate Current Classroom Libraries
Choose genres, titles, and text types that fit your district’s needs and academic framework. Then use the free Book Wizard app or Evaluation Protocol to conduct an inventory check and ensure minimal title overlap.
Built and Customized for Your Classroom
Unpack your customized Ibrary that includes instructional resources, and choose from
Scholastic bins, shelving, and labels to meet your classroom library needs.
Engage in Professional Learning
Bring the best practices of independent reading into your classrooms and
equipment teachers with indispensable skills to build confidence and avid readers.
Track Student Progress and
Refresh Ibrary Every Year!
Track progress with TrackIt!
As students read throughout the year they can track their own reading progress as they record every minute they spend reading. Teacher, administrators, and parent can monitor students’ time on task.
Refresh Ibrary every year!
Ibraries can be renewed as students make their way through every grade, meeting and surpassing their personal and academic reading goals. We can also provide the best books to accelerate their reading trajectory, and prevent the summer slump with Take Home Books and MyBooks Summer.
