My Review:

I use this website with my students throughout the year. We build on reading strategies starting with connections and questioning, then visualizing, and inferring, determining importance and finally synthesizing and putting it all together. It is a great resource because we work on one strategy and practice the skill as a class, and then I given them time to work on the strategies independently. The students are able to save their work and come back to it at a later time. It is very user friendly, as it gives the option of reading the stories to the students or having them read on their own; which is a great differentiation option for my emerging first grade readers. The stories, activities and comprehension are age appropriate for my first graders. .
