WhizRead

    WhizRead is a perfect digital companion for students who want to improve their reading skills. It is designed for kids from kindergarten through grade 12. This site consists of multisensory tools that combine audio, images, text, speech, videos and natural language processing techniques to help students to grasp the context and meaning behind the text in a more engaging, independent and enjoyable way. It is a great resource for English learners of all levels and it includes a variety of materials such as books, articles, and audio files. As students read a text, they can easily tap on words or phrases to find definitions pictures and videos that show the meaning. So, they can easily learn the meanings of the words they don’t know instantly in one place. Also, students can download the texts to add them to their library. 

After downloading and signing up, students can select their grade level based on their level of reading. 

Then, they will see a list of passages that they can select from the cloud option.

Once they open a passage, they can turn the pages similar to how you would in manual books.

Moreover, when they’re done reading, they can take a comprehension quiz to check what they understood. So, comprehension questions at the end of the text help the reader to clarify what he or she is reading and to better understand the text.

Considering the benefits of WhizRead, I can use it for my future class to make my students independent and confident readers. I can manage classes, reading groups, and create reading assignments for my students via this site. I believe that this multi-sensory reading tool makes the language learning process more engaging and understandable for the students.
