Program Design
Designed for ease of use, the program matches each student to a color-coded reading level based on their current abilities. As ʯÁñÊÓÆµ»ÆÉ«°æ progress, reading levels gradually increase in complexity, and text selections gradually increase in word count.

Know Your Color
At the beginning of the program, ʯÁñÊÓÆµ»ÆÉ«°æ place into the appropriate Lexiled® color level using the Starting Level Guide found in the Teacher's Handbook.


Read Independently
Students select Power Builders within each color level based on what sparks their interest. Each Power Builder consists of a reading selection and text-related questions focusing on comprehension, word analysis, vocabulary, and grammar.

Check and Revisit
After ʯÁñÊÓÆµ»ÆÉ«°æ complete a Power Builder, they check their work with the corresponding Key Card. Based on their results, the Key Card may direct ʯÁñÊÓÆµ»ÆÉ«°æ to complete a Skill Builder targeting specific areas for improvement.


Monitor Self-Progress
