Now available for younger readers, the Readingpen works just like a highlighter, scanning over difficult words or sentences to hear them read aloud. The pen also provides dictionary definitions, thesaurus entries, and syllabication. Offering a vocabulary of more than 240,000 words from the American Heritage® Children’s Dictionary and Thesaurus, the pen features an integrated speaker, LCD screen, headphone jack, and two AAA batteries. Teachers can block access to the dictionary and thesaurus, making it useful even in testing situations.http://www.etacuisenaire.com
Carefully-written reading passages provide the context for self-correcting VersaTiles practice activities that move students from reading one to two grades below grade level to independently comprehending grade-level text. Activities in each Lab and Starter Set increase in difficulty by half-grade increments, making it perfect for differentiated practice within the same class.
