Why Parents and Teachers Love it
No more sticky notes! Teachers love it because now they don't have to worry about how they are going to read all those text coded sticky notes! They don't have to be thrown out as the students finish reading. Finally an app that stores and organizes all of their students' thinking in one place and allows for accountability while independent reading is occurring. Great tool to use during reader's workshop, mini-lessons, guided reading, and during conferencing to either introduce or reemphasize reading concepts. Teachers love giving feedback directly to the students by giving praise and a goal (stars and stairs) which helps increase student comprehension skills!
Parents can use the same tools to aid their child's reading abilities at home by taking on the teacher role and having a dialogue with their child about the books they are reading!
