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.

We have been successful in engaging students in independent reading in the class and at home. Many of our students speak a second language at home, and Excite Reading® gives them a rich library of text along with a native reader bringing the stories to life with intonation…Our students are eager to read and love the stories, and we know this is helping them with language and vocabulary acquisition
