About Xreading

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.



Features and Benefits of Xreading

Xreading VL offers a variety of features that make it ideal for any extensive reading program.

» Unlimited Reading

With a subscription, students can read as many books as they want, whenever they want! You can call it reading-hodai! By not requiring students to pay per book, we believe this model encourages reading. Because subscriptions are for 6 months, teachers can assign summer or winter vacation reading.

» Audio on Demand

Almost all of the books have audio, so students can listen while they read. In addition, the audio is available at 5 speeds, so they can select the speed most appropriate for their ability.

» Books from Multiple Publishers

While several publishers offer their books online, Xreading VL is the only platform that has books from multiple publishers, like a real library.

» Universal Level System

Because each publisher uses a different level system which does not match, Xreading VL uses a universal level system based on the ER Foundation levels. There are also correlations with each publisher’s level and other universal level systems (CEF, EPER, Yomiyayusa, etc.) for easy reference and comparison.

» Book Profile and Information Page

To help students select the right book, there is a preview function giving detailed information about each book, including the level, genre, length, summary and even images from the book. It is just like previewing a book in the library, except as an added bonus, students can see ratings and reviews from other students!

» Quizzes

Xreading VL provides randomized multiple choice quizzes for every book in the library. Teachers can print these quizzes and have students take the quizzes in class, or they can allow students to take the quizzes online.

» Integration with Your Current School Library

Using XReading VL doesn’t mean discarding your whole library of physical books. If a student using Xreading VL decides to read a physical book, he or she can still register that book so it appears in their reading history.
