<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:blue">Recently I learned about
<a href="https://readerzone.com/">Reader Zone</a>, and I thought I’d share <a href="https://readerzone.com/about/">
about</a> it since it could be a helpful tool for classroom teachers, librarians, parents, and others to track students’ or children’s reading progress. It can be used to track everything from year-long reading goals in a classroom to progress during a read-a-thon.
The <a href="https://readerzone.com/faqs/">FAQ</a> even suggests that the system can be used to track other things like musical instrument practice. One account can have unlimited reading programs, reading groups, and participants. The online tool and
<a href="https://readerzone.com/app/">app</a> are free.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
