[MOSAIC] technology

[Laura Cannon]

I am wondering if anyone has used, or knows about any web-based or
technology based tools to use in instructing reading comprehension, fluency
or decoding.  My district technology person keeps pushing me to find more
advanced/technolgy based ways to teach kids to read and comprehend.

 

 

Our school purchased a program from Scholastic called Readabout-it is
expensive so we could only afford limited licensing for our lowest students.
The students seem to like it and have found success with it.  It taps into
reader interest with a variety of non fiction pieces and many pictures.  It
spirals as they are successful with the skills a pretest shows they need.
It would also be very good for high readers but we just couldn't afford
that.
