Inside a BookNook Session
Anyone can be a BookNook Reading Guide, whether or not you have a teaching background. See how our scaffolds and decision-making supports help with the planning and teaching process for both small groups and whole classrooms.
Small Group
Small Group sessions typically support 2-6 students with a dedicated Reading Guide.
BookNook provides scaffolding for teachers and Reading Guides. Each lesson is filled with helpful tips, as well as features to help monitor student progress in real time.
Our Phonics lessons provide fun and engaging activities to help early readers.
Each Comprehension lesson features a level-appropriate book, with Talking Points included to discuss the story.
Additionally, BookNook includes time after the book to keep the conversation going, with suggestions of prompts to encourage students to further discuss the book.
BookNook lessons have fun and engaging games that test for comprehension, and also allow for some friendly competition among the students.
Towards the end of the lesson, students are given a brief assessment to see how well they understood the lesson’s material.
Classroom
Classroom sessions support 25-30 students, where students of similar reading levels collaborate in small groups.
Once you add your students to BookNook, it makes smart reading groups based on each student’s reading level and the lessons they need to complete.
Once the session begins, a teacher can see how each group is doing, and how far they’ve progressed in the lesson. Students can also directly request help through the app.
BookNook helps teachers use their time effectively. If a student is performing poorly in a particular section, the teacher will be notified and can provide attention.
There are prompts throughout the session for students to talk to each other about the material.
Students really love BookNook’s games, especially the ones that encourage friendly competition.
