COMPUTERIZED READING
There are many types of computerized reading as for example incidential reading, reading for pleasure, reading for information and instruction, reading for operational task and activity completion and reading for comprehension. We,Ili and myself are going to analyze a website, Reading Literacy,which focused mainly on reading for comprehension whether it contains those above criteria or not. There are also an attached link to the website.
Reading for information
"Give your child a head start developing critical literacy skills that will have a profound and lasting impact on his or her success
- Do you worry about your child’s lack of interest in reading?
- Does your child have little or no interest in opening a book?
- Does your child lack confidence in his or her reading abilities?
This text below was copied from an website www.improveliteracy.com . It is all about how to make children to get interesting of reading. This passage tell us the strategy and ways of getting reading interestingly. yet, to gain and collect information from it.
Everyone wants their child to be a good reader. But what do you do when he or she struggles with early reading and comprehension, or has no interest in opening up a book? Maybe you've tried a whole list of proven effective reading strategies to help them – or activities to teach them to read – but still you aren't getting anywhere.
Many parents worry that if their child is struggling with reading, he or she will lose confidence and, as a result, will fall behind in other areas of schooling. There is often also the concern that he or she will encounter educational difficulties later on, having missed out on critical literacy development.
Children with reading or reading comprehension problems often feel stupid and inadequate, and lose self-confidence as a result. This in turn creates a vicious circle, and they can develop a complex about learning to read.
I have always believed and my experience has taught me that the best way to learn is through interesting and interactive medium. Poor literacy is a real problem today, and that’s why we have created a solution that will get kids or even adult exited about reading. Our aim is to improve reading comprehension in primary/elementary school children.
The secret is to give them something that they want to read themselves.
The online Storybook
Our solution is a unique, personalized and fully illustrated online storybook that will excite your child's passion for reading. The story is personalized, so you can make your child the ‘hero’ character. This means he or she is more likely to be engaged by it, and so will be much more motivated to read it. This in turn helps promote self-awareness and boost your child's self-esteem. What’s more, it is proven to be much easier for children to learn and improve their command of literacy in a play environment.
The story presents simple spelling challenges, which enable your child to develop basic literacy and reading comprehension skills, and help nurture their enthusiasm for spelling.
Simply type in your child's name and create their appearance on this website, and these characteristics will be carried over into the story, which will be sent to you as a printed book.
The storybook is ideal for children between 4 and 8 years of age. It aims to improve elementary school reading comprehension, focusing particularly on reading improvement for first grade and second grade students. It can also be used as a reading aid for kindergarten children, and can also help in increasing a child’s attention span.
Joint storybook reading with a parent or teacher creates interaction that promotes language and literacy development, and our storybook is designed so that it can be read to a very young child by a parent or teacher.
Wouldn’t you regret it if you didn’t give your child the best opportunities to learn, develop and grow? By planting the right seeds today you are laying the foundations for your child’s success."
