Struggling Readers
Many struggling readers lack exposure to books at home and need extra help to understand even the most basic aspects of reading, such as tracking words from left to right and top to bottom. With WiggleWorks software, teachers can choose how text is read and highlighted by the narrator in order to appropriately support students as they develop tracking skills and fluency.

English-Language Learners
All children, including English-Language Learners, benefit from listening to the same story multiple times, hearing new words repeated, and seeing pictures that make words more meaningful. Whenever students need to hear a word or a story one more time, WiggleWorks is there.
