Quindew

What is Quindew? Quindew is a fun and FREE online reading program. It offers adaptive reading lessons and assessments that meet students where they are in their reading journey.

The result: students grow as readers each year and have fun doing it! The name Quindew comes from the names of two prominent education philosophers: Quintillian and John Dewey.

What is the difference between manual release and autopilot? Manual release gives the teacher complete control of when Quests are assigned. Dates cannot be assigned, but the teacher can “Launch” a Quest by clicking “Launch” on the Classes dashboard. The “Launch” button appears after the orientation and Quest 1 are complete. Manual is optimal for planned station work, learning centers, and whole class Quindew time. Autopilot releases Quests automatically at the beginning of each week. This option is optimal for homework, playlists, and other flexible planning models.
