This is a wonderful website that children can use to improve their reading skills. The activities range in ability from learning the alphabet to reading books from various genres. These activities are available for free.
This website is ideal for teachers to use in their classroom. The only downside is that it requires a subscription. However, it is well worth the cost if it will be used regularly by the students. It allows students the opportunity to log on from any computer that has internet connection and read their assigned level text. The website provides support to readers by providing the option of reading the text to the students, independent reading, and a comprehension quiz at the end of each book. There is also a place where students can record themselves reading the text. The teacher can log on at any location to view the progress of each student, which activities that they have completed and any skills that they missed on the comprehension quiz. I bought a membership to use with my students two weeks ago and it has improved their motivation to read. I was surprised to hear that a few of my students were logging on to read outside of school because they are reluctant readers. I’m glad that I have found a way to make reading enjoyable for them and expose them to a variety of text.
