Reading Assessments

Diagnostic Reading Assessment

Our diagnostic assessment is different. Quindew evaluates students' reading ability while they rehearse critical deep reading comprehension skills. After completing 12 Quests (or the first Season), Quindew generates a diagnostic report. The data is used to create a unique learning path for each student, ensuring everyone receives the support they need. No time is lost, learning continues, and teachers and school leaders gain access to reliable reading data!

Growth Reading Assessments

Growth assessments formatively assess how students are progressing throughout the year. Students take two Growth assessments each Season, totaling 10 benchmark assessments each school year.

Mastery Reading Assessments

At the end of each Season, students take a Mastery assessment. This Mastery assessment measures students' growth during a Season. Students can take 5 Mastery assessments each year. On average, students grow .38 grade levels each Season.

My kids groan when I ask them to complete tasks on other reading programs. Not Quindew. They are genuinely excited to work on Quindew lessons. They like collecting badges and earning rewards like Blue Diamonds that they can use to buy things.”

- Meera, California

My kids love it. I love it because it teaches so many soft skills like perseverance, determination, and curiosity. I also like how Quindew teaches students to read directions carefully. Very pleased!”

Why Quindew

We started with an outrageous idea. Let's stop over-testing students with tiring and dull assessments. Let's find a better way to evaluate students because assessing them on how well they can guess on multiple choice reading passages may not produce useful reading data.

What if we intentionally designed an online reading program that mimicked explicit reading instruction with predictable reading routines? And, what if this reading practice embedded authentic assessments so that students could demonstrate what they truly know while learning and practicing deep reading comprehension skills?

We are on a mission to offer a better reading experience for all students--for FREE. We are dedicated to building reading skills and confidence while evaluating true knowledge.   

Our outrageous idea is working and gaining attention. 98% of our readers are engaged to highly engaged. Students are asking for more. They are growing as readers and teachers are happy. Come be outrageous with us!
