Science of Reading Aligned
BuddyBooks is the implementation layer between your literacy instruction and student performance — structured, accountable independent reading practice that scales across every classroom without adding staff.

NSF-Funded Research Dept. of Education NIH ValidatedSchools have invested in Science of Reading training, aligned curriculum, and universal screening. But the 90-minute block can't deliver everything — and after 3rd grade, structured reading practice often disappears just when students need it most.
Formal foundational reading instruction drops sharply after 3rd grade. Students shift to "reading to learn" before many have mastered "learning to read" — and the gap widens every year without structured daily practice.
Reading coaches, interventionists, and classroom teachers are serving more students with less time. There is no scalable way to deliver the daily practice volume students need without a tool that works independently.
Programs seen as enrichment rather than infrastructure are the first eliminated when budgets tighten. The question isn't whether BuddyBooks works — it's whether it's positioned as essential to your literacy implementation.
Your core curriculum teaches what reading is. BuddyBooks is the mechanism that ensures students can actually do it — independently, at scale, and with data you can act on.
Every session is tracked. Teachers see fluency gains, session length, and struggle patterns across their entire class — automatically, without manual logging.
Students practice independently while teachers pull small groups, run assessments, or conduct targeted interventions. No extra prep. No additional instruction time required.
Works alongside any Science of Reading-aligned core — Amplify CKLA, HMH Into Reading, Lexia Core5, and more. BuddyBooks reinforces what you've already taught. It doesn't replace anything.
See how BuddyBooks takes turns reading with a student, provides real-time support when they struggle, and keeps them moving forward — without teacher involvement.
📖 BuddyBooks in action — alternating oral reading builds fluency, confidence, and comprehension in every session.
BuddyBooks fits into any classroom without changing your curriculum, your schedule, or your instruction. Students practice independently — teachers see the data.
We'll work with your team to determine the reading level of your students and provide a selection of books appropriate for each student's reading ability.
The student and BuddyBooks take turns reading aloud, sentence by sentence. When a student struggles, built-in micro-interventions provide immediate support — keeping sessions moving without stopping to ask for help.
Fluency, accuracy, reading time, and engagement data are recorded automatically — no manual entry, no grading, no additional work for the teacher.
Open the dashboard to see class-wide fluency trends, individual progress, and which students need the most help right now — today. Everything is ready to inform your next MTSS cycle, parent conference, or literacy team review.
BuddyBooks is deliberately lean — designed to lower friction, not add to it.
BuddyBooks and the student take turns reading aloud, sentence by sentence. Every session is interactive — students are never passive listeners.
Teachers choose from a vast, leveled library spanning fiction, non-fiction, biography, and more — matched to each student's reading level and interests.
When a student struggles with reading, BuddyBooks provides micro-interventions to help the student improve — keeping the reading engaging and the session moving forward.
BuddyBooks combines visual text with audio reading support, giving students both modalities to reinforce decoding, comprehension, and vocabulary.
By sharing the reading load, BuddyBooks breaks text into manageable turns — so students who tire quickly can sustain practice sessions longer.
Embedded AI tools support vocabulary acquisition and comprehension — helping students build critical reading skills alongside fluency.
BuddyBooks slots into your MTSS structure without adding complexity — structured independent reading practice at every tier, with objective fluency and accuracy data feeding directly back into your team's decision cycle.
BuddyBooks is built on peer-reviewed research and independently certified under ESSA evidence standards.
Real results from K–5 literacy educators using BuddyBooks in their schools.
BuddyBooks meets the highest evidence standards for school adoption and is eligible under every major federal funding stream for literacy intervention.
