Explicit strategy instruction is at the core of good comprehension instruction. Teachers should help students to understand why a strategy is useful, how it is used, and when it is appropriate. The most frequently researched strategies can be applied across content areas; other content-area specific strategies are emerging, and we will include them here in the future.

Raz-Kids is an online and print reading program. All their books you can print, show on the big screen, or read online. Each book comes with activity sheets and other extension activities. The online program allows kids to listen to a book be read to them or they can read it themselves. They are also able to take a comprehension quiz in the end. The program has levels A-Z and the teacher is able to place the student at the appropriate reading level. My students love the program, and they are in 5th grade. The readers for the online book read with such great expression, some of the images move and there is sometimes background noise to help students connect to what they are reading.

I also began using this program this year when I got a free year of it! It is great and I really want our school to get it for everyone next year. I love pulling up books on the smart board and letting students come up to point and read the books to us! So useful!

Thanks Amanda! I have added this to my DIIGO and plan to share it with my team.
