eReader app is a game changer for independent reading time

How I Use It

Assigning a class novel is easy and then as students read, I can look at the data provided to see trends. Based on the data I can pull a small group for a mini lesson before the class discussion. Using the app, I can create notes and use them to model think-alouds during the mini lesson. This helps the students who are struggling to get a better sense of what is happening in the book. They can join the discussion with more confidence and better prepared to contribute to the discussion. I can then take those same students and depending on their needs pre-teach the vocabulary or walk them through an advanced organizer for the next chapter.
