Scholastic: Listen and Read

 

Age Range: 4-9 (Grades K-4, with parental supervision)

When you get to the site you’ll see a brief introduction and a menu of the online book titles. The first 8 books on the menu are about careers that kids are often curious about including a Firefighter, Pediatrician and Veterinarian. Then the rest of the books are divided into:

Click on any story and a new page opens where you can start reading the book, one page at a time. Each page is accompanied by an engaging photograph or illustration, and the option to click “Listen” to hear a narrator read the words on the page. Just follow the arrows to read the entire book.

At the end of the book you’ll find a simple quiz or activity that reviews the vocabulary words or simple concepts and information learned in the stories. Once you do the activity, you can advance to the next book. You can skip the activity, if desired, and move on to the next book by simply returning to the main menu.

As Charlie and I was on the site we found a post called Hello, Baby Panda and this is the first story Charlie wanted to read while on the site. As for me I wanted to read Artic Foxes: Secrets of Survival.

Now I would like to ask you to visit Scholastic: Listen and Read and let me know which book you think David chose. And also let us know which book you would like to read and why you chose it.

Thank you,

Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
