Accelerated Reader

[chuckles] And you're like, "But they just keep making more of them, and I need them all."

I remember, 'cause I was in, like, fourth or fifth grade, and we had to do Accelerated Reader, and I kept just wanting to read "Goosebumps."

Yep.

And they told me that those were too low of a level.

Don't know if you've heard of it, Alex, but Star Assessments is where the journey begins.

So children are assessed, and it generates kind of their strengths and developmental points, and then that feeds into something called Accelerated Reader, where children can quiz on books that they actually have at home.

So we have over 220,000 books, I believe, with quizzes on them.

It's incredible.

And you mentioned working closely with educators.

I'm curious how, with these decades of experience, with your experience as an educator, how do you incorporate educators and students into the development process for things like the CLS or MyON? What is the process for making sure that you're working alongside your end users, your educators and students who are using the product?

So I won't go into the full history, but I, I like to share that actually it started with Accelerated Reader with a lady called Judy Paul, and she was a teacher and a mother, and she had three children.

And it all started with her youngest child not really wanting to read.
