I’m always on the hunt for new and exciting ways to help my students become successful readers (I bet you are too!) Luckily when it comes to literacy, there are a lot of different approaches you can take. And on today’s episode, I’d love to share one more with you- a platform called Simbi.
Simbi is an online platform that offers a variety of interactive content specifically designed to help children learn to read. With Simbi, your child will have access to stories, games, and activities that’s intended to keep them engaged and excited about learning. Here are a few highlights:
-Simbi is developed in collaboration with literacy experts and reading teachers from around the world.
-Simbi’s methods – Reading Along, Narrating, TellMe and more – are proven to improve reading comprehension, fluency, and memory.
-It helps motivate both avid and struggling readers to improve their own proficiency, and to help others do the same!
One of the things I love most though is this company’s pledge to foster lifelong reading habits while creating global impact. Here’s how they do it:
On Simbi’s unique Read for Good platform, learners give back by sharing their voices to help others. Topics such as social-emotional, social justice, resilience and global citizenship are introduced.
Children are able to explore diverse content from top publishers, always free of ads, and available any time of day.
As students narrate books for others to hear, they earn volunteer hours automatically. Certificates can be downloaded to celebrate reading, or submit for service hours. (So cool!)
Never heard of it? Not to worry! Adrienne Gear, Canadian teacher, author and representative of Simbi is here to give us the scoop.
