1. Helps spur your students to do more personal reading.
|
|
You know how important reading is for your students. You also know they should do more. MyBookCorner is a fun extra incentive
to promote voluntary reading.
|
|
2. Start an online Book Club in your classroom.
|
|
Create a classroom "reading community" where students' reading is shared and recognized.
It's not easy to share and celebrate at-home reading - often you don't even know about it.
MyBookCorner helps change this situation for the better.
|
|
3. Each student has a personalized online book log
|
|
Kids actually enjoy recording what they've read and seeing it online. Students enter the title, author, pages read
and more for their books - and since it's on the Web they can do it anytime, anywhere!
|
|
4. Kids enjoy seeing what classmates have been reading.
|
|
Students' personalized version of myBookCorner lets them "visit" the "book corners" of classmates. They can see
at a glance what their friends have read. Newest classmates entering books are highlighted for them.
|
|
5. Have fun classroom reading competitions.
|
|
A "scoreboard" shows who's read the most pages for the class this month. Students love to compete to be the
"Reader of the Month". And everyone that's reading is a winner!
|
|
6. Students learn computer and Internet skills in the name of reading.
|
|
Using myBookCorner helps kids learn computer and Internet fundamentals in a safe environment.
Likewise, reading is "spiced up" by the computer angle - a win/win!
|
|
7. Great writing practice too...
|
|
Kids can write their own mini-review and be a book critic by giving their books an A-F grade. It's good writing practice
and it's fun to read other's reviews.
|
|
8. Let it do all the boring data entry and statistics.
|
|
Voluntary reading can be kept track of easily, by myBookCorner. You have students enter the books they've read, and myBookCorner does the rest.
|
|
9. Student information is private.
|
|
Students create their own usernames and passwords. Their information can only be seen by themselves and their classmates.
|
