Gold Star indicates Pre-Test has been taken.

Student Folder

Teachers and school administrators can view student’s progress and decide where the student needs to be placed.

Log-in: The student enters their name and password. Menu: The student chooses a title or selects a title determined by the teacher.

Background: The student listens to a pictorial narration. The narration concludes with the narrator asking three questions to prompt a reason for reading.

Pronunciation: The student is presented with a page of text from the book and is urged to click on various words to hear their correct pronunciation.

Spoken Glossary: The student is presented with the same text with five key words colored in blue. The student is directed to click on each word to see and hear the word from a spoken glossary.

Assisted Reading: The student is presented with the same passage and is prompted to read along with the narrator and the words highlighted in yellow.

When working on one of the leveled web-passages students engage in BEFORE Reading activities that front-load vocabulary, DURING Reading activities that scaffold repeated readings, and AFTER Reading activities that assess fluency rate, vocabulary and comprehension.

Echo Reading: The student is prompted to echo-read phrase-by-phrase following the narrator’s reading. The student’s voice is recorded and played back.

Repeated Reading: The student is presented with the same passage and is prompted to read it aloud without the assistance of the narrator. The blue highlighter paces the student through the text.

Reading Rate: Then the student is again presented with the same passage and is prompted to read and record without the support of the narrator or the yellow highlighter. The student’s recording is timed.

Word Meaning: The student is presented with two columns of text. The student is prompted to match the key words with the appropriate definitions.

Comprehension Questions: The student is presented with five multiple choice comprehension questions.

Before Reading Vocabulary, Comprehension, & Fluency Building

During and After Reading Informational Books and Graphic Organizers

After students complete a web passage, the teacher introduces the students to the book that the passage is from through guided reading sessions and/or one-on-one reading conferences.

Developing student’s strategies and skills for reading nonfiction texts is an essential part of the independent reading component. Before students read the book, the teacher should assign an appropriate vocabulary application or comprehension activity that scaffolds students in developing critical reading for meaning skills.

As students read independently, they should be encouraged to take notes that will assist them with the task they will complete after reading the book.

Teacher’s Resource Guide

The web-based Teacher’s Resource provides support for student’s web-based practice, partnering, teacher supported instruction, independent student practice, and assessment.

FREE professional development is offered to provide access to information and training specific to strategies used to differentiate instruction for reading intervention and English language learners.

After reading a book, comprehension reproducibles reinforce content reading strategies and demonstrate students’ content knowledge.

Teacher’s Guide includes reading conference prompts and mini-lessons to support instruction.

Teacher Resources and Assessment:

Progress Monitoring

The teacher tools in the web-based portion of the Reading Web are designed to give the teacher flexibility in grouping students and in assigning passages for students to read. Teachers can add and edit students, create groups, review student data, listen to student’s recorded passages, and print reports at any time from any computer.

Click Here to Add a Student

Enter student information, login, and add group(s). Then click Save student.

Teacher Tip:Before entering your students create a group name for your class.

Example of Classroom

Group Name: Brady,Gr.6.

Since Reading Web allows students to be in more than one group, you can have your class roster in one group and multiple instructional groups. Example of Instructional Group

Name: Brady,Gr.6,Group1

The student’s data is accessed through all of the groups that they are members of.

Click Here to Create and View Groups

All student performance data in vocabulary development, reading rate, and comprehension is automatically summarized and saved in the student’s folder for 12 months. Teachers and school administrators can view, sort, and print data by individual student, student groups, classroom, or school.

Teacher Tip:To facilitate gathering pre/post data, all student recordings are saved for 12 months. An easy way to gather this data is to have the student read the same web-based passage at different times.
