Reading Playground FAQs

The Reading Playground helps students independently practice the foundational literacy skills they are learning in Countdown, Blast, and HD Word. This Reading Playground has the following features:

  • A play-based digital platform that merges learning, assessment, and practice.
  • Research-aligned activities are designed to accelerate the acquisition of skills and knowledge necessary to transform unfamiliar words into familiar and instantly recognizable words.
  • An adaptive platform that honors the diversity of students’ abilities to master their phonics skills at different rates and with different amounts of practice.
  • Responsive capabilities, so it can be used across multiple devices and platforms.
  • An easy-to-read teacher dashboard so you can monitor individual student performance.

Yes, if your district or school has a minimum of 200 students licensed to the Reading Playground, you can request rostering through Clever or Classlink.

No. It augments and solidifies the guided practice found in the student workbook. The workbook activities are designed to facilitate guided practice. Guided practice is a crucial component for most students. There is no replacement for a teacher hearing a child read aloud and offering real-time positive corrective (adjusting) feedback. The Reading Playground provides independent practice, which has some advantages (adaptivity, home accessibility, etc.), but cannot replace the “magical” touch that a teacher provides.
