Book wizard will be a huge time saver while leveling and organizing classroom libraries. By scanning a book's bar-code using the built-in bar-code scanner, you will be able to view the book's cover image, title, author, interest level, and reading level. You will also be able to create and save book lists, as well as modify existing book lists. A brand new feature of this app will allow you to share your book lists on social media, and email book lists to colleagues, parents, or friends. This app does require a free account from scholastic.com.
Reading Timer is a tool that can be used in the classroom by teachers or at home with parents. This app allows you to set up multiple accounts for tracking minutes read each day. Students easily play, pause, or stop an interactive stopwatch while they are reading. When they are finished reading for the day, they record how many minutes they read for the day. Logged minutes are archived and can be viewed by students and parents. Often the parents of my students ask for suggestions of books their child should be reading at home, or ideas of ways they could help their child practice reading. Reading Timer supports parents as it provides daily reading tips, helpful articles, and suggested book lists - all categorized by age groups.
