LevelUp Reader is offered by Rosen Classroom, part of Rosen Publishing, a trusted name in child and young adult education since 1950.

Content Every Student Can Love
With over 4,000 books, LevelUp Reader offers engaging, authentic texts to meet any student’s interests. All books include certified Lexile measures to ensure students are matched with appropriate texts to maximize their reading growth. Through deep, ongoing collaboration with the educator community, high-quality books that spark student engagement are consistently added to the platform.

The digital library also supports English language learners and multilingual instruction through integrated Spanish-language resources and bilingual options.
Different user interfaces are tailored to developmental stages to support foundational literacy and content-based learning. Reluctant and struggling readers are offered hi-lo books and differentiated versions of the same text at various reading levels.
Read-aloud functionality allows students to access books beyond their independent reading level. This improves comprehension and keeps more advanced content within reach, encouraging further exploration. It models fluent reading, supports English language learners with pronunciation, and helps all learners grasp academic vocabulary more easily.
LevelUp Reader’s built-in gamification turns reading into an adventure. With features like LevelUp Land and the Game Center, students can combine literacy practice with interactive play. Fully teacher-controlled, these elements add a fun, motivational boost that keeps young readers excited and coming back for more.
LevelUp Reader also helps bridge the digital divide with a powerful feature that lets students read anytime, anywhere. The companion mobile app supports offline reading: Students can download books and enjoy them without an internet connection. When they’re back online, their progress syncs automatically, keeping learning seamless and uninterrupted.
Data-Driven, Teacher-Focused Design
LevelUp Reader is built to give educators more of what matters most—time and impact. Its automated running records eliminate the need for traditional face-to-face fluency assessments by seamlessly integrating them into the digital reading journey. The platform gives teachers real-time insights and instant feedback, saving valuable instructional minutes and allowing for a sharper focus on personalized, high-impact teaching.

Essential elements, such as decodable texts and robust phonics resources, are also built into the product, eliminating the need for additional programs or training.
LevelUp Reader offers teachers advanced analytics with over 100 data points, improving visibility into student progress. State standards are also incorporated into the platform, allowing teachers to assess student mastery of their own specific state standards.
With powerful comprehension testing and intuitive data filters, LevelUp Reader helps teachers zero in on each student’s strengths and pinpoint exactly where extra support is needed. Educators can quickly assign targeted books that build skills in specific areas or support specific literacy standards, making reading instruction more personalized, focused, and effective.
Flexibility is at the heart of the LevelUp Reader platform. Educators are easily able to customize the student experience to meet their instructional goals. For example, in classrooms where the focus is on fostering a genuine love of reading, educators have the option to disable quizzes—letting students get lost in stories without the pressure of assessment.
One powerful example comes from a school district that chose inspiration over rigor. Their educators wanted a solution that provided insight into student growth without disrupting reading flow or student independence.
LevelUp Reader delivered by turning off most comprehension quizzes while preserving just enough data to inform instruction. This approach gave students the freedom to read for joy—not just performance—while empowering teachers to cultivate motivation and literacy in a low-pressure, high-engagement environment.
“We can make customizations to the program with a fair degree of granularity to help answer the needs of specific populations,” says Rosen.
