Ignition: Your Path to Reading Growth

  • Most middle and high schoolers need guidance on what to do while they read to get to comprehension.

  • Ignition presents these practices in an easy-to-understand digital experience, so that ALL students can reach reading success.

Close Reading: A Research-Based approach

  • Every student starts off with a Level Placement, so that we know each student’s current reading level.

  • Close Reading Experiences provide coaching to students of all reading levels, offering students a choice of diverse texts, from commonly-taught plays and novels to popular song lyrics and political speeches.

Vocabulary: A Multimodal Experience

  • Students learn and practice vocabulary words using four modes of gameplay: image, definition, sentence, and synonym. They have a love-based-learning experience.

  • Zinc offers vocabulary in-context accompanying our articles, and we have stand-alone vocabulary sets that use spaced repetition.
