uPar is a universal reading screener. It provides educators with data on the effectiveness and benefit of Text-to-Speech for reading comprehension.
Trusted by schools nationwide
Empower students to read their way by using uPar to screen for reading challenges and identify appropriate accommodations.
Many learners struggle to access grade-level content through independent reading alone. uPar gives educators the clarity they need to match support to student needs, helping more learners engage confidently with the curriculum.
“uPar gives us proof that we have the right accommodations in place for students. We can readminister the protocol to watch for growth.” Kathy S. White, Assistive Technology Specialist & Co-Chair, AT Forward Project
Students with dyslexia often face daily hurdles that undermine confidence and limit progress. uPar helps shift the focus from decoding to understanding, allowing students to access the same content as their peers.
Identifies which learners gain clearer comprehension through text-reader tools.
Reduces reliance on adults by providing the accommodations students genuinely need to work on grade-level material.
Shares insights directly with the learner, helping them understand how they learn best and advocate for themselves.
Provides clear, evidence-based data to support accommodation decisions and streamline IEP documentation.
Schools and districts aim to create learning environments that work for every student. uPar provides dependable insight that helps teams design instruction and support systems that reflect learner variability.
“uPar also gives us good data to show that the tools that we choose are needed and that they are making a difference.”

How are the comprehension questions chosen for each reading?
We have four types of questions: Main Idea, Fact, Vocabulary, and Inference. If a student is doing poorly on the first questions, we'll end that early so you may not see all types of questions.
Is uPar data presented in real time for educators?
Yes - by refreshing the page, an educator can see the most up-to-date data.
Will uPar determine the independent reading level of the silent read if students are successful with the text reader?
uPar will test the student independently at the same level as their listening comprehension. In the future, we will work on the ability to add an independent reading level to the reports (and, even better, hopefully import IRL from reading assessments like Star and Map).
How will students get access to the protocol?
Educators will add students to the license at universalpar.com using their email address. This will provide the educators access to the individual student data as well as summary data.
