With increasing demands placed on educators to improve student achievement, now more than ever before, teachers need to find systematic ways to keep their students motivated to read and to better manage and track student success. In addition, new customers can upgrade without re-labeling their library books. When students finish a book, they test their knowledge with a custom-generated, computerized quiz. Students get their quiz results immediately, and are treated to a fun, personalized Congratulations Screen if they pass.
Students receive points for passing each quiz based on the length and difficulty of the book.
