Yoleo
The Reading Project for Primary and Secondary Education

Yoleo is a school-based reading program for primary and secondary education, designed using research on how to foster reading motivation and improve comprehension.

Endorsed by the International Science Teaching Foundation (ISTF), the project transforms reading into a meaningful, measurable, and shared educational experience. It includes more than 9,000 self-correcting quizzes linked to over 700 books in Spanish and English.

Developed for Spanish-speaking regions, Yoleo provides culturally and linguistically adapted resources, with a continually expanding catalog that responds to the needs of local schools.

The program certifies extensive reading and allows teachers to track each student’s progress individually—enabling effective teaching interventions tailored to diverse learning needs. Using quizzes aligned with international reading assessment standards, such as the PISA framework, Yoleo supports the development of essential skills like identifying key ideas, retrieving and interpreting information, and reflecting critically.

Grounded in the principle of “read, understand, share,” Yoleo emphasizes the reader’s active role. Its recommendation engine and interactive features help students create a personalized reading path, build a strong reading identity, and connect with the educational community through shared reading experiences. The program also promotes the use of print books, encouraging focused, immersive reading free from distractions—thereby revitalizing the school library as a central hub for learning.

The catalog is highly diverse, featuring everything from literary classics and new releases to comics, graphic novels, informational articles, and texts adapted for Easy Reading. In addition, schools can expand their print libraries by purchasing books alongside program licenses.

Yoleo is more than a school tool—it’s a reading community that highlights each member’s progress, values reading as a transformative experience beyond the classroom, and turns a love of reading into a driver of both personal and academic growth.
