What is Boost Reading?
Boost Reading is a student-led, digital intervention program based on the Science of Reading. The engaging world of Boost Reading uses adaptive technology to deliver targeted remediation support for K–5 students, adjusting to the unique needs of each reader. Your child can use the program during school hours and also independently at home.
What is my role?
Make sure your student can log in independently.
We recommend you help your child log in at home via Clever or another platform. Your child’s teacher may also download and print a QR code or unique username and password that your child can use to log in. Please reach out to your child’s teacher if you’re unsure about the login process or did not receive login information.
Tips
- Practice logging in with your student consistently until they can log in independently.
- Keep their login information in a single place so they know where to go if they forget it.
Give your child a quiet space to work.
Get your child set up to use Boost Reading at home: Make sure they have a set of headphones and a quiet place to play. You won’t need to assist them with their learning, since Boost Reading is personalized to your child’s needs. Once they can log in, they can start using the program independently.
Give your child time to play independently.
Your child may begin with a placement activity, which will use their answers to match them to the content that is best for their reading skill level. It’s important that your child completes each activity independently, so the program accurately assesses their level. Encourage them to have fun and do their best!
Review digital safety.
Take a few moments to look at Protecting Kids Online, a site by the Federal Trade Commission all about safety for kids in the digital world.
Add to the fun!
Each student has a digital companion called a Curioso. Print these Curioso coloring pages so your student can decorate their own Curioso!
