Ticket to Read

2nd Grade has begun working on Ticket to Read. Ticket to Read is an online reading program that helps students become active readers. It facilitates independent practice from school, home, or any computer that has an internet connection. The online program teaches and builds reading skills at the individual level with adaptive instruction, fluency, vocabulary and comprehension.
The link to the program can be found below (with a list of logins and passwords) as well as among the list of Great Websites on my blog. Each student has their own account, and teachers can access reports to track student progress. We will be working with the program at school a few times each month, but would like to encourage the students to work with it at home as well.
