I have been using Readorium for the past 5 years with my science classes and in my 16 years of teaching science, Readorium is one of the best programs I have used for increasing reading comprehension and vocabulary in the content area. There is a large selection of books for each area of science and each book is tailored individually based on a student s reading level and the questions that they get correct. What I like best about Readorium is the many features it has to keep all my students engaged. When students get questions correct and complete books, they earn Readorium dollars and tokens that they can use to play games within the program, read interesting science magazine articles, and watch neat science videos. Each time I use Readorium with my classes, I put the Readorium dollar standings on the SmartBoard and the students are constantly asking me to refresh it based on the amount they increased every few minutes for getting questions correct. There is a competitive nature to the program for the students, which makes it fun for them to learn. I highly recommend using Readorium--your students will have fun while they become better readers and improve their scientific knowledge.
