This website is very helpful for new readers as well as readers that need to work on specific skills. It is a free site, and has a student area and a teacher area. There is an option for students to sign in, but this is not necessary and is only available should students want to save their work.
Once inside the student area, the students can explore many ways to read and comprehend material. They can work on specific skills (Prior Knowledge, Making Connections, Questions, Visualizing, Inferring, Summarizing, Evaluating, Synthesizing) or they can also do activiities that link those specific skills together.
The teacher area offers additional resources to design your classroom according to your students' needs, free downloads, strategies, and the option to "tell a friend".
This is a great tool for everyone learning to read and work on reading comprehension. It is especially great for younger children because they do not take personal information as noted in their Privacy Policy.
