Personalization of Reading Experience
Interest Inventory and Lexile Placement for personalization

Recommended books at appropriate level and personalized to individual interests > lexile, interests, & grade level
Human-read audio (non-robotic! i.e. poetry)
audio & high-lighting [word & sentence]
Literacy Tools
How do we ask student to annotate to keep track of their thinking? Model use of literacy tools! Students can interact with texts by highlighting, adding sticky notes and shapes to text, capturing citations, and writing summaries and notes within an online journal.
Teachers may use books for whole/small group mini-lessons and model strategies using literacy tools. Shared reading experiences, interactive read-alouds, and introduction of new texts to students are all possibilities.
