Frequently Asked Questions

Medley supports reading and writing for students in upper elementary grades through high school.  It can be used for students at all levels of English proficiency.

Each student user requires a student license. We have a minimum per customer and offer volume discounts. Teachers get access for free. Please contact us for pricing details.

Because Medley wraps around existing content, it preserves grade level content and high quality instructional materials.  We are deeply committed to multilingual learners accessing the same quality materials as their native English speaking peers, and are engaging classroom teachers who use Medley with HQIM to continue to build supports tailored to specific HQIM.

We haven’t yet found a language that we can’t support!  There are a handful of languages which don’t yet have audio/read-alouds, but all have written support.

Teachers engage with Medley in two ways. First, they control how Medley supports their students--what default settings are turned on and what tools are used when. Second, teachers have access to a web app where they can view student usage to understand which scaffolds they're using most frequently, and on what sites.

Student data privacy and student safety are our highest priorities. We employ industry-leading safeguards on both measures. Medley does not provide students access to an open-ended AI chat.

Medley uses AI to analyze the language demands of digital text and automatically determine which scaffolds to apply for a student based on their language proficiency. The AI helps identify vocabulary, sentence structures, and concepts that may present barriers, then layers in the appropriate supports. AI does not replace instructional content or teacher decision-making — educators can review, adjust, or customize supports for individual students at any time.

Medley can align to WIDA, ELPA21, TELPAS, ELPAC or however your state or district approaches measuring English proficiency.  Teachers can also manually enter the level of scaffolding they want for students, recognizing that students often progress between annual tests.
