Effective Literacy Website 7

Inkless Tales- http://www.inklesstales.com/readers/ is my effective literacy #7. This website created by Elizabeth Williams Bushey. This is a great useful literacy website that teachers, parents, and students could use. It consists of poems, different kind of stories, and games. Furthermore, the activities on this website are owned by Elizabeth Williams Bushey.

As a classroom teacher for lower grade, I found this website useful for me. The stories, poems, and games, I believe my students will enjoy it because the students can watch and read along. This website would help the students with their listening and speaking skills, reading and writing skills. For example, the story of Lady Bug, click on the link, http://www.inklesstales.com/ladybug.html, to see the story. This story is a good short story for kids. The children could read along the story following the subtitles that shown. So, Inkless Tales is a wonderful website for younger children.

Lastly, I believe Inkless Tale is going to be a useful source for teachers and parents. They could use the activities on the website to help their children with their reading and writing skills. This website aimed to help children with their literacy skills. In an early age, the children will love to read and write. Therefore, if you want to learn more about Inkless Tale, please visit the website by clicking on the link, http://www.inklesstales.com/readers/.

My effective literacy website #6 is https://www.kizphonics.com/. This is a great website for any grade level. Also, this website is fully available online because it created by the professors who teach English and ESL to children. Kiz Phonics has different lessons, such as on alphabets, phonics, pronunciation, sentence structure, and reading techniques. It also has great instructional tools for classrooms and homeschooling environments. Kiz Phonics is created by 27-member panel of teachers who work daily in reading and language arts education. This website is supported by several tenured professors of language from around world.

Kiz Phonics is a useful site for teachers, homeschooler, parents, and students to enjoy the stories by listening and or reading. For teachers, homeschooler, parents, and tutors, they use this website for reading, listening and speaking, and writing subjects. Because this website has different activities that students can do. For instance, the teacher could use the compound words phonics video. Each of the video already has the instructions on what the child will do. One example of the instruction is “The children should watch the video the first time non-stop. Second time, they watch and pause at each word to repeat. Finally, put the video on silent mode and let children try to read the words.”

  Furthermore, I believe that Kiz Phonics is a website that all the people could use; however, a user should sign up for it. It has different lessons or activities that every teachers, parents, homeschooler, tutors, and students could listen and read during this pandemic. It will help improve a child’s language development. So, please visit the website by clicking the link, https://www.kizphonics.com/.

Bookopolis

According to this website https://www.bookopolis.com/#/, Bookopolis is a kid-friendly social network and book discovery tool designed to ignite a love of reading in elementary and middle school students. This is a free website and also a helpful website for both teachers and students.  Both teachers and students can create and account for this website. Teachers can create this website to get more interesting and helpful strategies to improve their teaching and also make their lesson interesting and motivating. Teachers can view the dashboard to view video tutorials to help their lesson be more engaging to the students.

This site is also available for parents so they can also help with their reading skills. This website also provides reading materials that are available for all the grade levels. Students can also search any kind of book they want to read. There are many activities students can do in the Bookopolis to improve their reading skills and also improve their love of reading. Students can create their own virtual bookshelves by logging the books they have already read and they can also earn points from the collections they have. Students can also share with their classmates or friends the book they have read or recommend books to friends. This is an interesting website because students can discover many new books to read to improve their reading skills.  Students can also practice persuasive writing, comprehension, and typing skills by completing review, reports, and reading logs online.

This is also a great website for teachers and parents because they can track or see where students are with their independent reading. I recommend that teachers and parents should refer to this website to enhance the children’s literacy skills. Bookopolis is a great site for students to connect to readers and explore books they’ve already read or may like to read. This website also provides a fun games section where students can engage in word games, trivia and puzzles. I believe that this website can easily improve our student’s literacy skills in a fast way.
