Case Study: Hays Middle School boosts student engagement and reading growth with ReadTheory

Using Station Activities and Rewards to Increase Student Engagement

Hays Middle School educator Caitlyn Herron needed a solution to the time-consuming task of differentiated instruction and sought better long-term data to understand her students' reading comprehension strengths and weaknesses. She researched digital literacy tools and chose ReadTheory as a solution to meet these challenges.

By implementing ReadTheory, Herron provided students with personalized, confidential reading practice that eliminated the need for physical copies. The platform's badge system, integrated into a classroom rewards program, significantly increased student engagement. ReadTheory provided valuable long-term data for tracking progress, informing instruction, and facilitating productive discussions with parents and during IEP meetings, effectively showcasing student growth beyond standardized test scores.
