Into the Book

There are so many wonderful educational resources available and I found one I’d like to share. It is called Into the Book (http://reading.ecb.org) and was developed by the Wisconsin Educational Communications Board, Department of Public Instruction and a team of educators.

Kids can get into the book! After entering their first name, they will be assigned a key. There are eight strategies that they can explore; Visualizing, Summarizing, Synthesizing, Making Connections, Prior Knowledge, Inferring, Evaluating, Questioning, as well as using strategies together. Instructional videos are provided and then interactive practice.

Teachers can check out the learning objectives for each strategy, take a look at the student/teacher videos, lessons, teaching tips, suggested books and additional links.

There are so many wonderful suggestions, updated information, pdf downloads, teaching tips and so on.

Into the Book is a multimedia treasure house that will help improve students’ reading comprehension. I know you will find it useful.
