Readworkscontinues to focus on growing and improving our product to impact the millions of users we serve, based on data, learning science, and a deep understanding and empathy for the practical realities faced by teachers and students in classrooms today. We haveexpanded our content and curriculum offering significantly, adding new articles to our library, spanning diverse topics and interests. These texts include new content from our new and existing partners and are aligned with our diversity, equity, and inclusion goals.in 2022, we released one of our most requested features from educators--a new single sign-on integration with clever, one of the most widely used single sign-on portals in k-12 education that streamlines implementation with secure accounts, data management, and easy classroom access. Like our google classroom integration, our integration with clever is another way to make using readworks in the classroom easier for teachers. In our 2021 national survey, 46%of respondents reported using cleverin their classrooms. Readworks is also now featured inthe clever library.in spring 2022, readworks launched book studies to deliver curated content that directly integrates with the most widely-taught ela books nationwide, simplifying the planning process for educators and giving them back the critical time needed to further support their students.each book study text set is based on the research-supported article-a-day routine and includes seven+ passages with question sets to seamlessly build background knowledge, grow vocabularies, and strengthen strategic reading for students.in the 2021-2022 school year, readworks welcomed two new board members, gina cervetti and karim (kam) moolani. Cervetti worked as an assistant professor at the university of Colorado, boulder for three years. She is now an associate professor of literacy, language, and culture at the university of Michigan school of education, where her research focuses on the interface of literacy and content-area learning. Moolani is currently a managing director at silver point capital in Connecticut.
