Community Review for Reading A-Z
My Take
I use reading a-z a lot in my classroom, both whole group and small group. They have a wide range of material that can be easily integrated into all of your subject areas.
How I Use It
I use this product during small group instruction. It is an app easily navigated individually as a student with an engaging rewards program that keeps students reading. There is a wide selection of nonfiction material. Students earn "stars" for each book read and each quiz taken. The only drawback I found was that some students pretended to read books to simply get the incentive.
