Auto-Leveled, Choice-Based Instruction That Raises Reading Levels Fast
Zinc’s digital experience programs and tools teach the four conscious-reading skills all advanced readers use naturally.
It All Starts With Ignition
Recover And Grow Reading Skills
Secondary ELA instructors are expected to teach high-level concepts like irony, theme, and writer’s purpose. But few students arrive in middle and high school equipped with the tools to navigate longer and more complex texts. To improve students’ comprehension, focus, stamina, and joy in reading, Ignition teaches four discrete, easy-to-apply reading skills.
After spending just one to two hours on Zinc Ignition, nearly 50% of readers grow by at least one reading level (that’s 1.5 grade levels of growth).
