FAQ

Questions parents ask

What is a Reading Power Pack?

A printable PDF with five short reading “snacks”: a story or passage plus comprehension activities, built around one essential reading skill. Each pack comes in full color and a black-and-white colorable version.

Which grade should I choose?

Pick the grade your child is in now. If they read below or above grade level, every pack includes a “Take It Slow” path and a “Challenge” path so the same story works for every reader.

How is the Academy different from the packs?

The packs are screen-free printables. TutorCake Academy is our online learning platform: the same skills taught with Ms. Beth’s video lessons, interactive passages, quizzes, Reading Stars, badges and certificates, with a parent dashboard to track progress.

Are the materials aligned to standards?

Yes. Every passage and question is mapped to Common Core ELA reading standards for Grades 1–3, and the Academy shows exactly which standards each lesson covers.

How do I get my download after purchase?

Checkout happens securely at academy.tutorcake.com. Your PDF is available instantly in your account under My Downloads, and we email you a link as well.
