Do You Want to Encourage Reading?


Hello friends! Today I ran across a great online reading site to help encourage students to read more. It is called Epic! - Books for Kids and what is GREAT about it is that it is FREE for educators! All I did was fill out my school information online and was approved in no time. It did not take me 5 minutes and I was online listening to books being read aloud. Epic! recommends books for students (ages 1 - 12) and they offer have videos too. Teachers can set up different classrooms and earn points to get books and supplies for your classroom. Teachers may choose to add students and individualize their reading with assignments, quizzes, and activities. Epic! has a web version as well as apps from Apple or Google Play. Epic's goal has always been to empower children through reading and learning and they are in AWE of the many teachers that share this mission! Don't delay, check it out and you won't be disappointed. Look for the link LEARN MORE (small) to get to the Educator form. (See visual below)

Technology Integration for Students with Dyslexia

http://www.region10.org/dyslexia/techplan/

TEA's website has posted the technology plan for students with dyslexia. I think it's worth viewing and consider the resources for students in all cases. There are some awesome resources given in the following categories:
  • Digital Books
  • Text-to-Speech
  • Speech-to-Text
  • Concept Mapping
  • Vocabulary
  • Web 2.0 Tools
  • Technology for Mobile Devices
