. Literacy Explorer is a reading system designed to lead the reader and reading facilitator through a reading session. Literacy Explorer involves four steps – selecting reading material, pre-reading, reading, and post- reading. We provide strategies, activities, resources and tips for each one of these steps. Literacy Explorer contains three reading activities designed to motivate readers be providing them with stimulating content at their reading level and in their areas of interest. Story Builder allows you to create a story, report, or essay using material from the world wide web or your own words. You can insert images and pictures in your story. Registered users can save their stories in our Story Bank to be read later and can even publish their stories on the web. Read From the Web provides you with the opportunity to choose material on the world wide web and read it together, employing tips, resources, and strategies shown on the page. If you download the free screen reader BrowseAloud, you can listen to word pronunciation while you read. Read From the Bank allows you to choose a age level appropriate story from our story bank.

Welcome Pages Notes from Lisa to Marcella: Three main types of welcome pages are described on the following pages (i.e., 1, 2, and 3). The three main types may have different versions (example: 3a, 3b, 3c…). Each type and/or version has a different level of complexity (example: 3b, 3b Shorter, 3b Even Shorter). We need to select the versions and corresponding level of complexity we like for each type of welcome page. Or we can do this with our team on Tuesday…. If you like, please select your favorite versions accordingly: Type 1 – Choose one version and its corresponding level of complexity (example: “1 Even Shorter”). (example: choose “2b Even Shorter” and “2c Even Shorter” ). Type 2 – If we need to use the current registration forms on the LAO site, then choose one level of “2a” only (example: choose “2a Even Shorter”). If we can redo the registration pages as I have outlined later in this presentation, then choose one level from “2b” and one level from “2c” (example: choose “2b Even Shorter” and “2c Even Shorter”). Type 3 – Choose one level from “3a,” one level from “3b,” one level from “3c,” and one level from “3d” (example: choose “3a,” “3b Even Shorter,” “3c Shorter,” and “3d”).
