A bundle including Reading Comprehension Passages for Guided Reading Levels C-J is also available. To preview the series, download the free sample app.

What teachers are saying:

"My kids absolutely love these! They always want to do more and it really stretches their thinking skills! Thank you!" Lisa A.

"Love the fiction and non-fiction passages with thick/thin questions!" Beth Ann P.

"Thank you for a terrific resource. There are unlimited uses for it in the classroom and for home as well." Julie S

This app is ideal for use in either a classroom or home setting. It is recommended that a parent or teacher work through the first couple passages with students. Once students are familiar with the format of the multiple choice questions, this app can be used independently. Each section of text can be touched individually to hear its pronunciation.

These materials were developed by Anne and Keith Gardner, a mother-son team. Keith is an iOS developer and Anne is an experienced reading teacher. Together they are having a blast working to create apps designed to help kids develop early literacy skills.



We love feedback! Feel free to contact us at gardnerdevelopment@gmail.com. This app is compatible with iOS 7 and newer.
