Literacy Pro encourages students to make reading a habit. Within their online profiles, students set weekly goals for the number of days they will read and the length of time spent reading each day. Literacy Pro automatically logs all of the students’ digital reading, and students can also add time spent reading print books offline to achieve their weekly goals. As students monitor their progress against their goals, they gain confidence in their reading abilities and a sense of ownership in their reading journeys. Their self-efficacy flourishes, which can lead them to set even more challenging personal goals. • Supports comprehension Several tools within Literacy Pro help make independent reading a rewarding experience for all readers. Students can use a built-in dictionary to look up unknown words and hear their pronunciations, take digital notes while they are reading, and, for more than 500 ebooks, listen to the book read aloud. Every ebook and thousands of print titles on Literacy Pro also include a Think More comprehension check, an optional quiz tied to 10 core English Language Arts (ELA) skills that students can take to gauge their understanding of the text. In addition, teachers have access to over 900 Teaching Tip cards to support reading instruction with Literacy Pro ebooks. • Values student input Literacy Pro allows students to share their opinions with their classmates and teacher about books they have read. Students can rate a book on a scale of one to five stars, with a book’s average rating appearing alongside its cover in the digital library for other students to see. Students can also write book reviews and share them with their teacher, giving further insight into their reading experience.
