            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.
