NSF-Funded Research Dept. of Education NIH ValidatedSpecial education and intervention staff work hard in every session. But students with learning differences need frequent, structured reading practice between those sessions — and most schools have no scalable way to deliver it.
Pull-out sessions and specialist meetings are where the work happens — but research shows students need daily practice to retain gains. Without it, each session starts from scratch.
Specialists need consistent, objective fluency and accuracy data for IEP progress reports — but collecting it manually is time-consuming and often incomplete.
Students with dyslexia, ADHD, and learning differences need far more repetition than their peers. Structured, consistent practice outside of sessions is not optional — it's essential for skill transfer.
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 naturally into any intervention workflow — no extra prep, no additional burden on specialists, and students can practice independently between pull-out sessions.
Special ed teachers and intervention staff assign books from a vast leveled library — aligned to each student's reading level and IEP goals. Students with a reading disability may qualify for Bookshare access for an even wider selection.
The student and BuddyBooks take turns reading aloud, sentence by sentence. When a student struggles, BuddyBooks provides microinterventions to help the student continue improving.
Fluency, accuracy, reading time, and comprehension data are recorded automatically after every session — no manual logging required.
Open the dashboard to see fluency trends, accuracy by session, and engagement data — all ready to inform your next IEP meeting, RTI cycle, or progress monitoring report.
Students receiving Tier 2 or Tier 3 support need far more repetitions than a single pull-out session can provide. BuddyBooks fills that gap — giving every student on your caseload structured, independent reading practice between specialist sessions, with data ready for your next progress monitoring cycle.
BuddyBooks combines proven reading science with engaging technology — creating a practice tool students actually want to use.
