Getting started

Trek Adventure is a reading tool inside Trek Learning. Students read choose-your-own-adventure stories that Trek writes for them. The stories match their reading level and can include your vocabulary words and topics. Students make choices that change the story, and short quizzes check their understanding along the way.
Trek Adventure is included with every Trek Learning plan. Teachers turn it on for their classes, and students read inside Trek Learning. Reading levels go from Kindergarten to Grade 10.
Trek Adventure is included with every Trek Learning plan. If you’re a teacher and you don’t see Trek Adventure in your left menu, email help@trekai.org or contact your Partner Success Team.If you’re a student, your teacher needs to turn it on for your class first.
No. Once you turn on Trek Adventure for a class, every student in it can start reading. There are no assignments or due dates to manage.
About two minutes per class. See Set up Trek Adventure for your class.

​
Reading levels and content

You set a starting level and difficulty for the class when you turn on Trek Adventure. Over time, Trek adjusts the level based on how each student does on quizzes. It doesn’t change after one bad quiz. It looks at a pattern.
Yes. Students can change their grade level in Settings, under My Grade. You can see each student’s current level on the Trek Adventure page.
Yes, in three ways:
  • Add vocabulary words, such as this week’s spelling list.
  • Add grammar concepts you want students to practice.
  • Switch to Custom reading mode and write a topic prompt, like “Make the story about how photosynthesis works.”
Not yet. Today, you shape stories with vocabulary, grammar, genres, and custom topic prompts.
Stories can be written in English and several world languages. Pick the language when you set up a class. Need one that isn’t listed? Email help@trekai.org. We add languages for schools often.
Students can page back through the current story at any time. When a story ends, they can continue the adventure with the same characters, or start a new story. Teachers can read every story in a student’s Story History.

​
Safety and privacy

Yes. Stories are written for school and never include romance or violence. Teachers can also turn off any genre, for example spooky stories.
No. Trek Adventure has no chat or messaging between students.
Their teacher can see the books they read, their quiz scores, and their reading level. Classmates only see the top five names on the class leaderboard, and teachers can turn the leaderboard off.

​
Quizzes and the leaderboard

Every few pages, the story pauses for a short comprehension quiz. Teachers choose how often quizzes appear and how many questions they have. After each quiz, students see the correct answers and go right back to reading.
The timer gives students enough time to read the page before they move on. It helps stop them from clicking through without reading.
Students earn points from quizzes. The leaderboard only shows the top five readers. Students outside the top five never see their rank. They only see how many points they need to move up. Teachers can hide the leaderboard in Class Settings.

​
Accessibility

Yes. Students can click play on any page to hear it read aloud, then pause or replay.
Yes. Students can turn on dyslexia-friendly fonts in Settings. Teachers can turn them on for the whole class in Class Settings.

​
The family app

Yes. TrekAdventure is a family app for iPhone and iPad and Android. Parents set up a profile for each child and choose their reading level, story language, and the values they want stories to show, like kindness or perseverance.
Not at this time. The family app uses its own parent account. Stories read in the app stay separate from your child’s school account and don’t appear in teacher reports.
The app is free to download and includes free reading every day. Optional paid plans add more reading and more child profiles. Prices are shown in the App Store and Google Play.
