IRA Newsletter Project: Effective Literacy#4
Reading Is Fundamental is the literacy central website for children. It is a very productive website that provided many resources that develop reading comprehension and improve Reading Rate and Fluency. The website is www.rif.org. It was founded in 1966. Reading Is Fundamental collaborate with other 450 programs that encourage children’s literacy to develop. This site provides new books to children in the communities around the world. It also develops thousands of free digital resources for teachers. The advantages about this site is the Lexile Reading
level that is provided for each reading passage. The grade levels are also
available with their Lexile levels. That is one thing I like about the website
that shows the reading Lexile level for each reading passage. There are a lot
of books that children can always go through and read. There are also reading
comprehension questions that follow each reading to check for understanding the
passages.
There
is also an Independent Reading Center for the individual kid to read books.
Instead of having only books at the center, there are also things that your
child will enjoy like the work of arts, watch Read-Aloud videos, puzzles, and
coloring a page under fun sections such as Animal, Nature, Art, Invention and
Nature. The Reading Center can be monitor by parents or teacher. That is why
for you to be part of Reading Is Fundamental, all you need to do is sign up and
provided your information for free.
There is also a Literacy Tracker where parents and teachers can also
monitor the students reading progression. You can set up an account just for
you and your kids to monitor their reading consistently.
This
website encourages parents, teachers, and children to expand the important of
having a literate community. It provides all the resources for children to
enjoy reading and parents involvement in participating in the progression of
their kids reading. Teachers are also encouraged to create an account on this
website to have their students monitor throughout the year(s). I would like to
recommend educators and parents to visit the website and discovered the
important of Literacy for our world. To learn more about this website, you know
