  Short Description: Whooo's Reading is a tool used to check reading comprehension in elementary school aged students. The process begins with the students completing their reading that was either assigned or chosen by them. Next, the students take a short quiz that contains three higher-level thinking questions that are automatically scored and sent to the teacher. The students are given positive reinforcement for their reading and writing, as well as virtual coins called Wisdom Coins that they can spend on their Owlvatars. Then the students are given customized suggestions for what book to read next. The teacher receives the students' scores for each book to ensure that they read it and are able to track their students' progress over time
  
  Examples of Uses: Using this tool benefits teachers and students. Teachers no longer have to give multiple choice questions to test for reading comprehension, rather they can hold their students accountable with higher-level thinking quizzes that prepares them to cite their evidence and answer all parts of a question. Skills that the students will need to be successful in the future can be taught at an earlier age. Also, students receive positive reinforcement for their hard work leaving them with an optimistic outlook on reading and writing. To add, when students log in to Whooo's Reading they are able to log their minutes and pages read to make reading become a daily habit. Parents also have access and can sign off on reading logs and receive progress reports for their child's literacy. Lastly, this tool makes reading social where students can create conversations on books and receive feedback.
