Not sure of a young reader's level? Find out in two minutes.
The reader reads a short passage, then answers a few questions. The Lit Librarian estimates fluency (reading pace) and comprehension, then matches books that fit just right. It works two ways: read silently and time it, or read aloud with the microphone.
- Adapts to the reader, stepping up or down to find the right level
- Pace benchmarks based on established oral reading fluency norms
- Feeds the result straight into personalized book matches
- Add a location to check availability at your local library
- Private by design. Nothing is recorded or sent anywhere
