Waterford Reading Academy is an instructional program that guides students from “learning to read” to “reading to learn.” The platform consists of two components, a preK-2 program and a 3-6 program, both of which can be used on any internet-enabled device. The preK-2 program offers curricula on reading, social-emotional learning, math, and science—and it is completely personalized and adaptive based on each student’s individual needs and abilities.

The 3-6 portion generally focuses on reading comprehension and independent reading of whole books. The content can be customized for individual students or for whole-class instruction.

In general, Waterford Reading Academy provides CCSS and ESSA-aligned curricula in a few different segments. At the preK-K level, Waterford recommends that students engage with the software 15 minutes a day, 5 days a week. For grades 1-2, that recommendation increases to 20-30 minutes a day per course. While there’s no specific usage recommendation for 3-6 students, teachers can customize the time-related goals within the platform.
