Engaging approach to mastering complex texts

When many or most of your 9th graders are reading at a 4th-grade level, it can be hard to picture them reaching their potential. And each day brings the high-stakes tests that much closer. Riveting Results™ selects whole books that get students curious about what happens next.

And gives them the skills they need to find out. Once engaged and reading fluently, students invest the energy to tackle the challenges of reading—steadily building their capacity to enjoy, comprehend, interpret, and analyze complex texts.

Built to work in real classrooms

Other literacy programs, designed for perfect students in ideal classrooms, don’t work in every day schools. Riveting Results™ tests books and activities across hundreds of classrooms and includes only what works every day for all students. Our program gives real teachers everything they need to drive measurable growth with actual students: realistic lesson plans, classroom-tested classroom management tools, and progress reports that focus on the highest-impact next step.

In-person and remote PD sharpens teachers' ability to adapt the program to their students' needs. In urban and suburban districts, with struggling and accomplished readers, Riveting Results™ has generated dramatic, durable results by giving teachers the tools to get students to spend more time on task, reading and writing about complex texts.

College Board Sponsorship

20,000 schools offer AP classes. But, 2022 NAEP tests show that 67% of high school students can't read the complex text that is the foundation of these classes.

The College Board believes that the kind of practice that Riveting Results™ provides in fluency, rereading, paraphrasing, and analysis prepares students for AP-level reading.

The College Board subsidizes the costs for schools to use Riveting Results to prepare students for AP classes.

They Come to Life

"You may have had a student that coasted by before, given modified work because the novels were too hard in class. [Now they] can actually participate like everyone else."

Multilingual Learners Get What They Need

"

"As I walk into the classroom, [my students] are getting engrossed in rich reading, they are getting to learn high-level vocabulary, and they're also getting to learn how to write."

The Power of Reading Whole Books Together

"

"Because you’re not starting with ‘Where’s this kid’s reading level; are they an a, b, c, or d?' You’re starting with meaty stuff. That’s what high school kids need."
