One my reading centers consists of student listening to stories on tumblebooks.com. It is a great site for students, but my students were taking too long on fiding a book to read. Jing came to my mind immediately! I went on Tumblebooks.com and captured exactly where my students had to go on to find their reading level. This will help them log on, and get started immediately!
Blanca, I'm so glad that you tried Jing! I know a lot of teachers at my school use Tumblebooks. Our librarian LOVES it! I have never used it before. Is it something that would be helpful for 3rd graders?
ReplyDeleteHi Melinda,
ReplyDeleteYes, definetely would be helpful to 3rd graders. I do the Daily 5 (Fostering Literacy Independence in the Elementary Grades)in my classroom, and I use it as my listening to reading center. The students really enjoy it, and it has other activities that the kids can do (Quiz, Book Report, etc...) On the Jing note... I was kind of intimidated in the begining, but it's not that bad once you play around with it.
