PARENTS: You’ve got enough to be responsible for right now.
Teaching your child to read doesn’t have to be one of them. Just log in, and let our teacher-created interactive reading lessons handle the rest.
All Guided Readers' Books are Professionally Leveled by Fountas & Pinnell and Lexile.com
Suddenly homeschooling your kids? We’ve got your back.
Reading is one of the most important and difficult skills your child must learn -- and take-home packets only go so far.
That’s why guided Readers is here to help parents like you; with easy access to virtual lessons in reading, vocabulary, comprehension, and critical thinking that your kids can complete on their own.
Here's how our daily Guided Readers lessons work:
Step 1: Create your child's account & select their reading level (We will help you figure that out.)
After you register for Guided Readers, you can tailor your child’s experience based on their reading level, so they’re only assigned the books meant for them.
Step 2: Log in with a 2-picture password
This serves to protect your account, and make it easy for even your youngest at-home student to access their lessons unassisted!
Step 3: Your Child's Lesson Begins
Inside the Guided Readers platform, they can read, listen to the books being read, record themselves reading aloud (to help with fluency and comprehension), take online quizzes, and enjoy activities around phonics, word work, comprehension, writing, vocabulary, and more.
Step 4: Prefer to be more hands on? We have teaching tools for parents, too
We offer printable Parent Guides so you can read with your child/children, help them with their phonics skills, ask key comprehension questions, and more.
Your level of involvement is up to you!

If your child is in Kindergarten and an average reader, we suggest working with books on Levels A - D.
If your child is in Kindergarten and an advanced reader, we suggest working with books on Levels D-H.
If your child is in first grade and an average reader, we suggest working with books from Levels D - I.
Children in first grade are typically expected to exit first grade reading on a Level I.
If your child is in second grade and an average reader, we suggest working with books from Levels I - N.
Children in second grade are typically expected to exit second grade reading on a Level M/N.
If your child is in third grade and an average reader, we suggest working with books from Levels M - Q.
