ReadnQuiz is a computer based quiz program that motivates and measures a student's reading comprehension of books they have read. With over 55,000 quizzes currently available, ReadnQuiz adds 300 new quizzes each month. Students are able to select fiction, non-fiction, or e-books, from a library or online, and take quizzes on the books. ReadnQuiz allows students to practice independent reading and comprehension, and develop a life-long love for reading.
After reading a book, students will be asked to complete an approximately 10-question, online comprehension quiz either in their classroom or the CCA library. Tests may not be taken at home. The quizzes will assess how well the student understood the content and award “points” based on the number of correct answers. The test may be retaken if the student does not pass the first time. Each CCA teacher will determine the number of tests and/or points each student will need to earn.
ReadnQuiz is a “Lexile based” program. A Lexile is a number given to a book or reader. This number represents an individual’s reading ability or a text’s difficulty. It helps students, teachers and parents more easily and accurately determine appropriate reading materials, based on a child’s current skills and abilities.
Each Lexile “range” has an associated color code (see chart below). All books in our library are currently being labeled according to Lexile ranges to make it easy for children to find books appropriate to their reading level. For instance, if your child is reading with a Lexile range of 411-561, he or she should look for books labeled Yellow 2 or Yellow 3 at the library.

Based on MAPs testing in May of last school year, your child has been assigned a Lexile range. New students will not have a Lexile range yet. All families will receive updated Lexile numbers following MAPs testing late September/early-October.
