ReadWorks, a leading provider of K-12 reading comprehension resources, and XanEdu, a provider of custom educational materials and e-learning solutions, today announced a partnership to bring high-quality and engaging summer reading comprehension resources to parents and educators.
The new partnership builds on the strengths of both organizations; engaging content from ReadWorks and custom publishing and fulfillment from XanEdu. Through the partnership, ReadWorks summer reading workbooks are now available for a small fee in print format for parents and teachers.
ReadWorks offers a library of thousands of articles, both fiction and non-fiction, all designed to boost students’ reading comprehension and provide teachers with powerful instructional tools. Their newest product, “The Summer of ReadWorks”, is a beautifully illustrated workbook that includes a series of engaging non-fiction educational articles with reflection writing prompts for children entering 2nd, 3rd and 4th grades.
Beyond its custom publishing solutions, XanEdu also empowers curriculum creators with flexible production and distribution support to offer unparalleled access to educators and students in both digital and print formats. XanEdu is part of the Scholarus Learning portfolio of companies.
"Our partnership with XanEdu is exciting because it allows us to reach a broader audience with our research-backed reading comprehension content," said ReadWorks Chief Academic Officer Susanne Nobles, Ph.D. "We're thrilled to offer our materials through this new format, and XanEdu was the ideal partner to support us as we expand our offerings."
"The partnership with ReadWorks enhances our commitment to providing original content creators and educators with the most comprehensive and customizable course material options," said Brett Costello, Chief Business Development Officer of XanEdu.
