How does the free Reading Check-Up work?

Your child answers a short set of adaptive questions (about 10 minutes) that pinpoints which specific skills they're missing — phonics, decoding, and comprehension. You get a clear summary of the gaps plus a personalized practice plan to start on right away.

What ages and grades does it cover?

The Reading Doctor supports learners from PreK through grade 6, with skill checks and practice matched to each grade level.

Yes — the Reading Check-Up, the results summary, and your child's personalized plan are all free, with no login required to start. A subscription unlocks the full game catalog and premium tools.

Will it help a struggling reader or an English learner?

That's exactly what it's built for. Struggling readers get targeted remediation paths, dyslexia-friendly display options are built in, and English learners get bilingual scaffolding in six languages.

Can my child's teacher see the results?

Only if you choose to share. Sharing progress or assessment summaries with a teacher is parent-controlled — you invite them, and you can revoke access at any time.
