Overview
Spurred by the necessity of finding engaging ways to deliver a mandated reading program for years 7 & 8 in 2021, during many months of tag between classroom and homeschooling, an online program that incorporates elements of gamification and incentives was adopted. A survey of both teachers and students in late 2020 suggested that more engaging and ‘fun’ activities be adopted into their reading program. In this session, Beanstack, which incorporates the online ability for students to record the books they are reading, record time spent reading and also engage in response activities that demonstrate specific comprehension skills that are explicitly taught. Hear how the program generates data and reports of student progress that are used by the teacher librarian and English teachers for tracking student progress and for reporting and assessment.
