ClassMate Was Built to Close the Gap
Only 30% of eighth-grade students are at or above the NAEP Proficient level in reading. Many students enter middle school without the reading comprehension needed to succeed in science, social studies, or any subject that asks them to think critically about what they read.
The challenge for districts goes beyond identifying struggling readers. It comes down to having the right resources to support every learner in the moment, across subjects, every day.
ClassMate by World Book was designed to close that gap. By putting always-verified World Book content at the center of guided learning experiences, ClassMate gives educators the tools to build subject knowledge, deepen understanding, and support every kind of learner across every classroom.

See ClassMate in Action
Teachers rely on ClassMate’s literacy activities for middle school to bring reading strategies into any lesson.
“I love that the literacy strategies are included. As a history teacher I know what literacy strategies are but not always how to use them with what I am teaching. This would make it easy to give the students exactly what they need for literacy.”
— Katherine, Middle School Educator
