Good to know before you buy

  • Instant digital download; nothing ships.
  • Single-classroom license: one teacher, one classroom.
  • Print PDFs are US Letter only (no A4 edition).
  • Children's reading text is drawn as vector outlines (single-storey a and g), so it cannot be searched, copied or read aloud by a screen reader.

Questions about this set

How do I score a one-minute reading?

Each passage prints the running word count at the end of every line and the total words. The record under it has date, words read, errors and words correct for three readings, and each unit has a class fluency record sheet.

Can I cut the strips apart?

Yes. Each page holds five strips, each with three "read it" circles; use the page whole or cut the strips apart.
