The website in review is readingiq(https://www.readingiq.com/) This website is not a free resource. You have an option to pay a yearly or monthly fee. They do offer a 30 day free trial version ,which is what I opted for, to write this review. This website is geared to children ages 2-12 that are homeschooled. This is also a website that is more for parents to use in the house than for educators in the classroom. It is similar to epic books in that it has many books to choose from.
With all the numerous books available, readingiq allows the user to narrow the down in the following ways: grade level, accelerated reading, guided reading, and Lexile. This allows for flexibility because not everyone uses the same tools to determine reading levels.
The picture below shows the My Shelf screen. This is where the reader's favorite books, minutes read, and progress is monitored. There are no assessments associated with any of the books. This would be an excellent site for pleasure reading.
The website is user friendly, easy to navigate, and contains numerous books that are age appropriate. With the version I reviewed, you could add up to three users on one account. I see this as an ideal tool for supplemental reading at home. The selection of books is commendable. My advice is to take advantage of the free trial. If you like what you see, then perhaps an investment in this program is in your future.
