Personalized Read-Aloud Libraries Made Easy with Screencastify

At Screencastify, we believe every student deserves access to reading that inspires, supports, and meets them right where they are. That’s why more and more educators are turning to video to bring books to life and make them more accessible—anytime, anywhere.

One of the most powerful ways to do this? Creating a read-aloud library, tailored to students’ instructional reading levels, using Screencastify and our built-in QR code generator.

📚 Why Read-Aloud Videos Matter

Read-alouds offer students a chance to hear fluent reading modeled in real time. For emerging and developing readers, this modeling is critical. It supports comprehension, vocabulary development, and overall confidence in reading.

By recording your own read-alouds with Screencastify, you’re not just sharing a story—you’re creating a trusted, familiar voice that students can return to as often as they need.

🎥 Record Once, Reach Many

Using Screencastify, teachers can easily record themselves reading a variety of texts—leveled readers, picture books, chapter excerpts—based on students' instructional needs. With webcam and screen recording options, you can even show the pages of the book as you read, helping students follow along visually.

Whether it's for independent reading time, small group stations, or at-home reinforcement, these videos provide personalized support across learning environments.

📲 Instant Access with QR Codes

After recording, Screencastify makes it easy to generate a QR code for each video. You can print and place these codes:

Inside book bins or classroom libraries
On take-home reading folders
In guided reading notebooks
On bulletin boards or reading choice menus

Students simply scan the code and instantly access your read-aloud—no logins, no barriers.

🧺 Build a Library That Grows With Your Students

Over time, you’ll create a growing collection of leveled read-alouds your students can access again and again. It's an evolving resource that supports differentiated instruction, builds literacy independence, and nurtures a love of reading.
