Xreading VL is an online, virtual library with hundreds of graded readers supported by an easy-to-use learner management system. The system has been developed to make graded readers more accessible for students and extensive reading programs easier for teachers to manage and assess. Because Xreading is a virtual library, students have unlimited access to all of the graded readers, anywhere, anytime. Books are never checked out or unavailable. Students can search for and read books using their pc or mobile device. Their search is assisted by book ratings as well as recommendations based on their preferences. In addition, audio is now available for almost every book, so students can listen while they read.
Xreading VL has a simple-to-use learner management system (LMS) that allows teachers to monitor and assess their students' reading. The LMS not only lets teachers know which books their students are reading, but also how many words they’ve read and their reading speed. In addition, teachers can restrict the library, guiding students to the most appropriate books. Upcoming features will allow teachers to create goals, and have their students, or even their classes, compete with each other to increase motivation.
In the Xreading Library there are currently over 1200 graded readers from twenty ELT publishers, Macmillan Language House, National Geographic-Cengage Learning, Cambridge University Press, Helbling Languages, ELI, Compass Publishing, e-future, and Atama-ii. We are currently negotiating with more publishers, so that number will increase throughout the year.
Note: Xreading is now available WORLDWIDE, however book availability may vary by country.
Xreading VL offers a variety of features that make it ideal for any extensive reading program.
