Help students access grade-level text

Teachers want every learner to engage with rich, meaningful content, but many students struggle to access grade-level text independently. uPar gives educators a straightforward way to identify reading challenges and open up learning for more students.

How uPar helps:

  • Identifies how each student best understands text through a universal reading screening process.
  • Provides data that shows how effective the Text-to-Speech accommodation has been.
  • Helps educators match support to need, improving access to curriculum materials.
  • Encourages more independent learning by reducing reliance on guesswork or trial-and-error support.

"uPar gives us good data to show that the tools that we choose are needed and that they are making a difference.” Kathy S. White, Assistive Technology Specialist & Co-Chair, AT Forward Project


Empower students to read their way

When students understand how they learn best, they become more confident and engaged. uPar gives them the insight they need to take ownership of their learning.

How uPar helps:

  • Shows students whether they comprehend better through independent reading or listening.
  • Encourages informed choices that support long-term independence
  • Helps teachers shift grouping from “reading level” to interest-based clusters using Text-to-Speech.
  • Supports classroom practices that value preference, agency and personal growth.

Promote a UDL-centred approach

Districts and schools aiming to meet a wide range of learning preferences need reliable data to design accessible experiences. uPar provides a foundation for neuroinclusive practice at scale.

How uPar helps:

  • Highlights individual needs so educators can tailor support without adding workload.
  • Encourages the use of tools that allow every learner to access the same curriculum.
  • Aligns with UDL principles by recognising variability and providing flexible pathways to understanding.
  • Puts students at the heart of decision-making, ensuring support is both fair and effective.

“uPar gives us proof that we have the right accommodations in place for students. We can readminister the protocol to watch for growth.”
