Objective

Using an algorithm of good reading speed, the computer will monitor a student's reading rate. The student will read a given text at an appropriate pace.

Facilitation Tips

This game is best played after students are familiar with a story or are comfortable with reading or sounding out words. The game can be done with one to four players. Each student chooses a character and names it. The computer selects who will read and monitors the person's reading rate. If a student needs help, s/he can click on the word but this slows down her/his reading speed. However, the speed would not be too negatively impacted if the student reads most of the text at the appropriate reading speed.

Levels

All story levels (easy to advanced) can be used in this activity.
