Reading Comprehension

Students can never get enough practice with various reading comprehension skills. Offering your students fun websites to practice these skills allows you to gauge their skills level while the students are having a little fun.

Many times it is difficult to assess whether the student in struggling with comprehension skills or with their actual reading abilities. The following site reads the story allowed and asks students to follow simple directions.

The following two sites offer stories for the students to read independently. After reading the story the students can select quizzes, fill in the blank or sentence order activities that will test their understanding of what they are reading.

  1. What wonderful websites you found to aide in reading comprehension while incorporating technology! I enjoyed the first website as I read and clicked to discover something else. Children would love this. The reading on the second site was great as I took the first ten question quiz on the selection. This is good feedback for a child.
