ITRT Play of the Week

Reading only has meaning if our students are able to comprehend what they read. That is why we work so hard to teach students reading and learning strategies such as visualizing, summarizing, synthesizing, making connections, using prior knowledge, inferring, evaluating, and questioning. Into the Book is an interactive website that teaches all eight of the strategies and gives students real opportunities to use the strategies while receiving feedback. Students receive a simple login so that their progress can be tracked. Audio tools make the strategies accessible to struggling readers. These activities are great for one-on-one practice, but they also work well on a SMART Board during whole group instruction! The teacher site offers songs, videos, and printables for use in the classroom. This site is excellent!
