Inspire a love of reading backed by cognitive research Excite Reading® provides an engaging library of human-read children’s e-books with time-saving lessons that develop vocabulary and background knowledge for reading comprehension.
Move beyond decoding Research shows that skilled reading requires instruction not only in decoding, but also in language comprehension–including background knowledge and vocabulary–so children can truly understand what they read.
Turnkey read-aloud, think-aloud literacy solution A recent study showed that modeling comprehension, like the read-aloud/think-aloud lessons in Excite ReadingTM ranked in the top three language factors having a positive effect on young readers.

Excite ReadingTM lets teachers track student progress and includes curricular assessments that are aligned with state standards to check student comprehension.
