edMe reading apps provide real-time AND comprehensive feedback to help students improve their reading skills. We ask four question types:

1. Summarizing main idea

2. Identifying key details

3. Finding evidence to justify conclusions

4. Building vocabulary

These apps feed into one database so that we can give formative feedback to your student. If you use more than one edMe Reading app (e.g., edMe Soccer and The Wizard of Oz), we can give you comprehensive feedback on critical reading skills like Vocabulary and Supporting Evidence.

We are looking for passionate people to write questions about their favorite topics. Choose your favorite book, receive feedback on your questions, and get paid to help children learn how to read.

This page describes the process (there is also a PPT and PDF).

There are only three steps because we value your time and expertise.

To be clear, you can send us any type of text document that has the questions separated by chapter with the correct answers.

Pick a book you love and already know extremely well, so it's easy to write questions. If you already have a book you wrote questions about, you can use it but you will have to license to edMe Apps.

Most of the money you will earn will come from downloads of your apps, so you may choose a book that is popular with children or schools. These books are already selected:

In almost every chapter or act, we ask a multiple-choice question so students summarize the main idea/plot events. This helps students understand the plot of the story, and if they are lost, they will receive guidance through the Feedback page.

For more examples, see our page dedicated to Main Idea questions.

Most questions will ask about critical details in the story. We usually pair these questions with Supporting Evidence questions so that students must consult the text.

Notice that students may enter their answer or choose it.

Citing texts is a critical skill in all walks of life. From Social Studies to SAT™/ACT™ to responding to e-mails, it is critical that students can identify where the important information is in a text.

We identify the most important words in your text--words that will help students understand a variety of texts. These questions will have options that could make sense grammatically in the sentence, and include other definitions of the word.

If you want assistance identifying important words, we recommend the Academic Word Finder created by Student Achievement Partners.
