The Gamebooks Library is designed to:

• Increase engagement in reading through activities and an achievement ladder.

• Test a learner’s reading comprehension with explicit testing via quizzes.

An included console for parents and teachers provides detailed reports on usage and learning progress for each learner. Parents can add multiple children to their console and teachers can track statistics for individual students or the whole classroom. The console measures the number of books read, badges earned, session times, words encountered, activities completed, and Lexile scores.
