IEPs and Special Education
Students with individual educational plans (IEPs) often have difficulty reading at grade level. Many require intensive instruction and additional monitoring. Flexible tools that provide self-paced, scaffolded instruction in reading foundations can be an essential component of a student’s IEP.
BrightFish Reading is an online, research-based program for grades 2-10 that helps students develop fluency, vocabulary and comprehension skills. Adaptive placement and a unique process of text automaticity enable students to build independent reading skills, while teachers review errors and missed learning objective to enable targeted remediation and support.

I don’t like BrightFish, I LOVE BrightFish. It is just so awesome!
“BrightFish Reading is the perfect supplemental resource for providing reading instruction based on students’ individual needs. At middle and high school, we have students who have been struggling readers throughout their academic career. BrightFish provides age-appropriate personalized instruction focusing on foundational skills and building up to comprehension. We are excited to realize the potential of our students through BrightFish!”
What I love about BrightFish is that it gives me tools I can use when taking a test, and plus it’s so much fun!
“BrightFish Reading is a great program and an awesome learning opportunity during a “normal” school year, but it is essential now that we are serving our students differently. I require data for 2020-2021 IEPs and this will be an additional source for which I am so thankful!”
“Brightfish inspires me to read. Reading makes me a better person. Some of the stories have taught me information that I did not know, and it has increased my vocabulary a lot. I would like to thank the people who created the program. My year has been pretty great and fun!”
“The vocabulary component in BrightFish Reading has been crucial to my students’ overall reading comprehension. The program gives me the time I need to work with small groups and collect data.”
“Engaging in the learning process gives my students a sense of accomplishment. Students practice their reading skills daily and gain confidence, which is so important for struggling readers. BrightFish Reading provides the individualized time on task and 1:1 interaction that is essential for growth in reading.”
“BrightFish Reading challenges my students to work through the stories and show comprehension in different ways. My kids know that I expect to see growth in their comprehension scores – and now they have come to want that too.”
