These skills are incorporated and taught together to help students make sense of reading and writing. Lessons and activities include a clear use of words and sentences. Reading Kingdom adapts to a student's learning needs and provides an academic path that supports their individual growth. It identifies a student's starting point by administering an initial placement test and allows students to progress or skip activities as required. The program is gamified in its use of points, levels, challenges and rewards to keep students engaged and motivated. There is also a reports section that allows teachers to see their students' progress through the program. This program is housed in the United States.
