is an online reading comprehension tool for
elementary students and teachers. This website provides early readers with
interactive reading activities using eight research-based strategies. These
strategies include prior knowledge, making connections, questioning,
visualizing, inferring, summarizing, evaluating and synthesizing.
Into the Book was developed by PBS Wisconsin Education
along with the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction and a team of
experienced educators. Easy to navigate tabs include a student website with
interactive reading comprehension activities, a teacher website with
videos, teacher guides, lesson plans, as well as a matrix that links all
activities to (CCSS), and a professional learning tab with a
collection of resources behind each lesson.
Students can easily start the activities by clicking on the
students tab. Logging in allows for the student to save their activity.
Students can also skip the login and go straight into the interactive
activities. Once they login, the student can choose an activity on any of the
reading strategies mentioned above.
The teaching tools tab welcomes educators to resources on
the various strategies to include prior knowledge, making connections,
questioning, visualizing, inferring, summarizing, evaluating, synthesizing, as
well as using the strategies together when teaching literacy. It is understood
that combining strategies is needed to help students gain a fuller
understanding of text. The professional learning tab provides online resources
for self-paced professional development, educator effectiveness, webinars, and
educator standards. When using the Behind
the Lesson resource, educators are provided with a brief description of
each learning strategy as well as examples of educators effectively teaching
their students to be strategic readers.
