OnSTAGE

Interactive reading tools for the classroom

Purpose

OnSTAGE puts interactive reading practice, Word Wisdom vocabulary, reading slide decks, and whole group reading games in one place so teachers can build evidence habits every day. Students answer authentic questions and prove every answer with text from the passage, which is the core move STAAR/SST demands. The platform serves Grades 2 through 10 and tracks growth so teachers always know the next instructional step.

Student work flows into TEKS Teams and classroom-ready reports so teachers can reteach with purpose.

What else lives inside OnSTAGE

  • Fresh passages every month. New TEKS correlated reading, editing, revising, and paired passages land monthly, so practice never repeats inside a school year.
  • Every question type the state uses. Multiple choice, multipart, hot text, text entry, inline choice, and match table grid, plus SCR and ECR practice.
  • Answer choice analysis. Every answer is labeled correct with text evidence, or incorrect with the distractor type named, which powers class discussion about why wrong answers are wrong.
  • STAAR/SST tools on screen. Highlighting colors, answer eliminator, text to speech, dictionary, notepad, and mark for review mirror the tools students meet on test day.
  • Spanish included. Passages, questions, and answer choices are available in Spanish at no extra charge, with parent letters keeping the home to school connection.
  • Teacher resources. TEKS posters for the classroom wall, academic vocabulary flashcards, and virtual course handouts sit in the teacher section.
  • Assign your way. Lexile leveled passages go out in small chunks or larger blocks, with accommodations per student and automatic scoring reported immediately.

OnSTAGE is $149 per year for one teacher and 25 students. Each extra student is $5. It is also included in the Complete Set.
