Lacking sufficient background knowledge creates another roadblock for readers striving to keep up with their peers. Increase vital content-area knowledge through short, relevant texts and videos on hundreds of popular topics.

Reteaching students what they’ve already learned is not the most effective way to bring them up to grade-level proficiency. Provide just- right scaffolding and support with multiple reading levels, Text-to-Speech audio, leveled assessments and other powerful differentiation tools.
5. Get More Out of Your Tech Investment
