Lisening to Reading for Students Who Need It

Some Students Always Need to Be Read Aloud To

A student's personal needs or IEP can require them to hear text every time. As a teacher, you can turn on Readspeaker Technology for individual students who need articles read to them, whether they are at our lowest reading level or highest.

Automatically Read Aloud for Struggling Readers

Students at our lowest reading level will always have access to Readspeaker Technology so that they can gain confidence by listening along with and following the highlighted text as words are read to them.

Rocketlit serves adaptive readings and assessments from the 3rd through 12th grade reading levels, tailored for each student, to help struggling readers and challenge advanced students.

Automatic
Differentiation

Student reading levels are diagnosed when they first login, and students read the same content at their independent reading level.

Personalized
for Every Student

As students improve, they move up reading levels. Both struggling and gifted students read accessible content that challenges them.

Save Time
on Lesson Planning

Adapting content takes time and inaccessible textbooks are a barrier to students reading. We're here to make teachers' lives easier.

Students Start with Diagnostics

Your students read three short articles, each followed by a quiz. This sets their initial reading level for upcoming assignments.

Students Always Read Articles at Their Current Reading Level

After reading, your students take a multiple choice quiz and their reading level adapts based on how well they do.

Annotations and Highlighting

Students can highlight, circle, and underline text then attach their own notes for teachers to look over.

Free Response Questions

These come at the end of a quiz, right after the multiple choice section, and can be turned on or off for any assignment.

Articles Read Aloud and Highlighted

Students at lower reading levels or those who need to can listen to the article while following along as text is highlighted.

Receive Reports to Inform Future Instruction

Quickly see what vocabulary words students struggled with to help you focus on reteaching troublesome concepts.

Easily Assign NGSS Aligned Articles

Sort articles by NGSS Performance Expectations or Cross-Cutting Concepts. You can also browse by unit or search for specific terms.

More than a Gradebook

Use our gradebook to see how students improve over time or with retries. You can calculate averages on the fly as well as export all of your data.

Print All Reading Levels

We have print-optimized PDF versions of every article for every reading level. Symbols mark each reading level so you know who gets which version.

Shareable Reports

Easily shareable reports let you give coaches and admin digestible visual data about how your students are progressing.

What Educators Say

Joanne Salustri
7th & 8th Grade
Science

It’s a resource students have been motivated to read because the articles are interesting and well-written. It is rewarding to see that after reading the articles and taking the free response questions, they do understand the concepts.

The platform’s ease of use and intuitive design drew me in, but the differentiation piece is really the seller. I can look up a million articles on everything on my own, but the website already does it all for me.

& Social Studies

Finding leveled reading resources with the same concepts had been a struggle, so I love how Rocketlit articles are leveled for individual reading levels, but still have common examples and vocabulary we could discuss as a class.

Middle School Science

Even my most gifted students have voiced their opinions on how challenging Rocketlit is. Which, as a teacher, is something that I appreciate about the product. Many of my students are reading at the 11-12th grade level.
