Use SuperSTEM’s many differentiation tools to customize instruction for a variety of learners. These include knowledge-building videos with closed-captioning, leveled texts, and much more. Whether they’re striving or thriving, your students will get the support they need with these powerful resources.

Capture students’ attention with engaging, ad-free videos that include the option for closed-captioning. Background videos make great pre-reading activities and build essential core knowledge on topics covered in the magazine. 

Videos can be found throughout our site: through the search feature, on article pages, on issue pages, or in our Video Archive.

Every feature article in SuperSTEM is available at two reading levels. Select the article that you want to read. If it’s a feature article, the reading levels will appear in the toolbar on the left. Choose the preferred level. The text-to-speech tool can also be used to read either level aloud.

SuperSTEM offers an audio Text-to-Speech tool to assist students in their reading. When a user activates Text-to-Speech, an automated voice reads the article aloud. Each word is highlighted as it is read, and students can control the speed of the reading.

For each issue, SuperSTEM creates an original online game related to one feature article. These standards-aligned games are designed to provide a visual, interactive way for students to independently explore science concepts. There are accompanying questions to help students reflect on their experience independently, in a small group, or as part of a class discussion.
